"There are no make-up labs for any reason."

Well what about a medically excused absence?? My school says that you cannot, under any circumstances, make up a lab. Well I have a medically documented neurological disability that interferes with my ability to move my arms, and right now, I can’t even so much as grasp a pen (I’m using voice recognition software to type this right now), let alone try conducting an experiment. It is also very painful for me to stand. I don’t see how it is legally possible for them to give me a zero (which, even if I got 100’s on the rest of my labs would give me a maximum of an 88 average).

Is there anything I can do? Have you ever heard of something like this?
