EXEMPTIONS
A special type of Accommodation...
Something to understand is that Accommodations and Exemptions are not two completely different things, they are inter-related. Typically in an Accommodation, the individual requesting it is asking to be permitted to meet a requirement in a different way, rather than be exempt entirely from the requirement. In an Exemption, however, the individual requesting it is asking that the given requirement not apply to them at all. Often, for an Exemption to be granted, the educational institution or employer will require something similar to an Accommodation in lieu of the requirement--but this will be proposed by the organization evaluating the request, rather than by the individual, as with an Accommodation request.
