But that’s fine, it’s no different to someone finding out their analytic or managerial or whatever capabilities aren’t what they thought they were and needing to look for another job that works for them. Imo it’s just not relevant to whether or not someone gets accommodations at college.

Some of what was discussed on the other listserv were observations that some academic accommodations helped students successfully complete, and spent $$$ to complete, the educational requirements of their professional fields, but that they then might have been unable to complete some licensing or experiential requirements successfully. This is separate from students who didn’t have accommodations (again separating individual strengths and weaknesses from a difference rising to the level of a disability). Sure people find out they weren’t cut out for a career they thought they wanted, but that’s a separate issue.
Did they list specific examples? I’d love to know what they were.
I just spoke above in generalities. They just gave hypotheticals.
Just replying to this (I support students getting the accommodations they need.) In my D’s IB class, one of her friends, who had test accommodations in college, was unable to pass the required SEC tests. Typically, the firm requires the tests to be passed in the first 60 days of employment. This firm allowed the employee until Thanksgiving, when they let her go.
