SECTION V: BASIS FOR DECISION
The ADA and Section 504 require that accommodations be provided to individuals with disabilities when certain conditions
are satisfied. Each case will be decided on its own merits. In reaching its decisions, the UIL will follow applicable law and
consider the following:
whether the requested accommodation(s) is "reasonable";
whether the requested accommodation(s) is "necessary,"; and
whether the requested accommodation(s) would "fundamentally alter the nature of" the competition, either because
it would alter an “essential aspect of the game” or activity or give the student an “advantage over others and, for that
reason, fundamentally alter the character” of the competition.
