I of course answered "yes". But the "w/ or w/out reasonable
accommodations" has so many variables, is so nebulous, as to be
astonishing. What are "reasonable accomodations"? Bathroom breaks?
Typewriters that work? Chairs?
'Reasonable accomodations' is a term of art in the Americans With
Disabilities Act of 1990. It means about what you'd think it means, and
is explicable pretty much in terms of what you'd need given your
disablity, whatever it is, over and above the standard equipment and
access that non-disabled persons have. (Don't ask me to define 'standard.')
