I agree. There are some student's who elect not to disclose that they have a disability or utilize the accessible version for one reason or another. The student needs flexibility.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] instructor question re: alternative accommodation
hello: a student has no obligation to let the instructor know they have a disability but if they don't tell the instructor how to accommodate them they have no accommodations. students should be given a choice to turn the feature on or off them selves.. but you need to make sure the student is not losing any content or ideas from the accommodation. make sure the other games and so on teach the same thing. and then once you have done that why not just give every one the accessible games and get rid of the others.
