[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 427658, member: 11791"] For behavior, yes, more likely in school than in "real life". But for some of these kids, they need a safe window of time to catch up with the rest of the world - developmental delay doesn't equal permanent disability. So, we need allowances in school to enable them to learn these life-skills and to keep them safe until they have time to grow up. But I wouldn't expect an employer to cut them the same slack. For other needs, not necessarily... for example, if a person is up-front about a writing disability, the company isn't allowed to discriminate against that (as long as the job isn't obviously a heavy-writing job!)... so, they either modify the job or allow an accomodation (access to a computer, for example, rather than paper). I have a hearing problem, and that's been accomodated numerous times. Know of a person with a really bad stutter - job was modified to remove the need to answer phones. [/QUOTE]
