Conflicting Access Needs

While the authors gesture at the idea that access needs can change throughout a semester, I think that the authors fail to properly address the idea of conflicting access needs. Conflicting access needs is the term used to describe when students have access needs that are completely or nearly mutually exclusive taking into account the physical space. One example of conflicting access needs would be a student needed dimmed lights because of sensory sensitivities and another student needing bright overhead lights because they are low-vision. There is this idea that we can make spaces that are completely accessible but this gets complicated by conflicting access needs.
