aunt bea,

Thanks so much for you time. She is using this phrase

“… A public entity also may not impose or apply eligibility criteria that screen out or tend to screen out an individual with a disability or any class of individuals with disabilities from fully and equally enjoying any service, program, or activity, unless such criteria can be shown to be necessary for the provision of the service, program, or activity being offered.”

from Dear Colleague Letter: Access by Students with Disabilities to Accelerated Programs

saying that giving a speech is a criteria that is necessary for the provision of the service.

any ideas? thanks.
