[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 671370, member: 18958"] Brodi, this is my understanding of things: There must be an accommodation provided to disabled students. You cannot just say: because you cannot do that (because of your disability) you cannot enter our program or school or job or even apartment. If it is because of your documented disability they must give you every opportunity to go around or over the requirement. The only way they can stop you is if it is an essential component of the job. Like for example: modeling women's lingerie. I do not think a man could make the case to be hired. Or, a blind policeman. I do not see how mathematics is an essential component of mortuary science. Now, anybody can do anything. Just because something is illegal, in this case, to insist you pass math, even if it is not an essential requirement of the profession. But if they did something so stupid you would have a huge lawsuit, I believe an any disability rights organization would likely be willing to help you. At least I would if I was a disability rights attorney. Of course, I am not an attorney or aware of the finer elements of disability rights law. But I do not recommend letting yourself be limited by what could or what might happen. Or else none of us would try anything. I agree with Witz. If this is what you want go with it and believe in yourself that you will work to surmount what comes. Good luck. PS I think the Voc Rehab counselor is able to arrange to advocate for you to waive non-essential requirements in the program. That is what they do. Of course, somebody can over-promise, but that is a risk with whoever you deal with. You are back to Witz's point: If you want it go for it. [/QUOTE]
