There are cognitive and academic requirements to enter many professional fields. Should academic and licensing requirements be altered? If an individual with trisomy 21 has the cognitive abilities to graduate nursing school with minimal accommodation for example testing accommodations that are also available for NCLEX and can meet the physical, skills, and academic requirements and wishes to become a nurse who is to say they cannot because they happen to have an extra chromosome. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if he/she meant it to come off this way, but it almost sounds like he/she is saying "Enough is enough…I have had enough of the 'special' treatment for those with 'mental' delays." I apologize if I am putting words in the OP's mouth, but this was my first interpretation of the title of the thread. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
