Can someone explain laptop accommodations?

Title mostly. There is popular debate in my section rn about a prof who is repeatedly "discouraging" laptops but for pedagogical reasons does not want to ban them.

As someone who doesn't use a laptop in class as a personal, vibes-based preference, I am sympathetic w her position, esp considering ik firsthand that the vast majority of laptop users stray from classwork during lectures. that being said, if someone has a real accommodation then obv it should be met.

Ig my question is: can someone give some concrete examples of accommodations students may have for which laptops are necessary in class? off the dome I can really only think of people with serious hand injuries/disabilities who cannot write with a pen (tho I would think lots of those people can't type quickly either?)

just trying to understand, thanks
