Are you aware that students that are unable to use pen and paper already get accommodations both during regular school days as well as at exams?

Some see those as demeaning. There’s an interesting thing known as “Medical Model” Vs “Social Model” for accessibility; Medical Model - you have an amputated leg, here’s a crutch, it is awkward and cumbersome to use and makes you feel “other” Social Model - you have an amputated leg, it doesn’t effect you as having ramps and accessible features it’s so normalised that you don’t need to struggle with subpar solutions, and you don’t notice the difference as much You’re currently advocating for the worse option, the Medical Model
