But that's just it.  We aren't lowering expectations by accommodating students.  We are providing a range of acceptable options for a student with a verifiable learning need to demonstrate that they have mastered the material.  Students must perform at an acceptable academic level.  Despite what some people here want to believe, Wente included, we are not handing out high grades, or degrees.  We are not watering down our expectations.  Rather, we are changing how material is delivered, processed, or how knowledge is demonstrated (i.e: a student is examined orally vs. written).  In the end the student is provided with opportunities to demonstrate that they know the material, rather than being told that because they learn or work differently,  they CAN'T learn the material.  By doing the latter we dismiss a lot of human potential.
