1047) Q. Will IHSA grant a request of a student athlete with a prosthesis to compete in a sport?A. The use of prosthesis is a common request for accommodation, and IHSA will conduct an individualized review of each request for accommodation. When conducting a review, IHSA will consider when the safety of the student athlete and/or other student athletes may be compromised through the use of the prosthesis or whether the prosthesis would provide the student athlete an unfair advantage due to the prosthesis. All efforts will be made to provide an accommodation if possible.8) Q.
