Yvonne wishes to join an after-school business club that meets at the public library two days

per week. Most of the students walk to the library after school (the library is located within

walking distance of the school). Yvonne has a mild form of cerebral palsy and can walk with

the use of a cane. She is able to maneuver around the school, but is concerned about the walk

on the sidewalk to the public library. She is very excited about joining the club but is con-

cerned about the walking. Should Yvonne disclose?
