Disability Dilemma

9/14/2013

Dilemna
        I was just reading an article that posed a real disability dilemma for a school district in Ohio. A first grader was going to begin her first grade in a typical school. Her disability required that she use a service dog. The first grade teacher has a disability. She has severe allergies to animals. 
        The school district is making arrangements for the student to attend first grade in another school farther from home. Was this accommodation a reasonable one?

Yes, I think so because we need to be sensitive to everyone's issues. The child needs an education (and an education in a typical school is the best), but the teacher needs to be able to do her job without feeling sick and uncomfortable. So, a compromise is the best.

Absolutely; compromises must be made so that everyone involved has their needs met. We all need to be willing to give a little.
