$\begingroup$ This is a good point to consider, though there is obviously a balancing act between law, ethical obligations to the disabled student, and ethical obligations to not actively harm the education of surrounding students. If the usage is not discreet in its nature (such as notetaking), I would want to consider whether it would be possible to seat the student who needs the device in a manner that would not permit others to see that student's screen, such as in the back or off to the side. I can certainly imagine situations where that would be impossible, but it is worth considering. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @BenI. Forgive my rather negative interpretation here (i know you dont mean this), but consider: « in the back/off to the side » ≈ ostracized? Removed? Separated? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @D.BenKnoble I am thinking of that, so I would have to factor in the student and their feelings (and co-disabilities, if any). But while I will always do my best to help any student who needs a hand, I can't simply invite harm to the other students without at least trying to find a workaround, and I am genuine in my belief that those screens really are an active harm in a classroom context. $\endgroup$
