hi,,,,,,,,,,,,  I habe a few concerns with this approach.

1, respect for the cost of your client's higher education.  Your client will 
gain transferrable skills, but will gain none of the practical experience that 
others in his classes will have.

2,  The expected rate of decline of the client's vision.  This can be 
unpredictable.  If deterioration happens faster than expected, your client has 
half an education he can't finish.  The best case sinareo is that your clients 
vision deteriorates years after the fact, and they have to retrain.

3, This doesn't take into account that the course material itself is 
inaccessible because of poorly designed software, and doesn't help the next 
person who takes the course.  It doesn't address the legal or social 
ramifications of offering higher ed courses that are inaccessible to students 
with disabilities.

In short, it would be a seriously irrisponsible thing to do.

Best,

Erik.

Is this true of Zoom as well? At least for the time being he is able to use 
Zoom. Does this make any difference with respect to accessibility? If so, I’m 
thinking he gets his foot in the door, then when the inevitable occurs, he 
fights for accommodation.
