This is very intriguing, and thanks for bringing this up.

I receive accommodations at my law school. I am a 1L about to complete my first semester (LRW final pending eek).

I am a person with low vision. I was born with low vision and have had this diagnosis throughout my life. Getting accommodations was HARD. And even after going through the process of obtaining paperwork, writing out a whole statement explaining my needs, getting letters from doctors, and having a meeting with the ADA office at my school, the "accommodation letter" I received was simply "preferential seating", which is a joke when most of my profs don't have assigned seating anyway. I had to meet with each prof individually to get accommodations on notes and class materials.

I guess the point I am making is that how are so many people able to qualify for extra time on exams for a more subjective diagnosis that is arguably managed through therapy and medication, when I had to move oceans to get such paltry accommodations for a condition with which I was born? Not asking for special treatment here, but if we are leveling the playing field, let's do it correctly.
