AI and robots may represent the future, but telepresence robots are not one-size-fits-all. In this episode, Jeremy and Erin unpack a compelling case where a school district’s decision to deny a student’s request to use a telepresence robot was found not to constitute disability discrimination under the law. They cover the nuances of anxiety as a recognized disability, offering valuable insights into how schools can effectively support students struggling with anxiety. They also share practical strategies for navigating challenging conversations with parents when accommodation requests push the boundaries of reasonableness.
