<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana Pro",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">I have a student with low vision in culinary program wants to use a mandolin/slicer in lieu of the knife skills portion of the course as an accommodation.
I’ve had 2 blind students (blind since early age) who successfully graduated from the culinary program without an accommodation for the knife skills portion of the courses, and 2 other low vision who were also successful. One you may have heard of, if you
follow any cooking shows, is Christine Ha. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana Pro",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">I do understand that each person’s experience with their vision is different and dependent on many factors, but should I be worried about the risk factors
of using a mandolin vs a knife? Should we think about the mandolin, which other students wouldn’t have access to, be an alteration of the essential course objectives?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana Pro",sans-serif;color:#1F3864"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana Pro",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">In a former career, I saw the aftermath of what a mandolin can do but also what damage knifework can do as well. Not pretty.
