I had a similar problem. The first cs classes for us are cs101, and cs102, which are taken by cs majors. Both classes deal with html and java script. No problem with the html, but the tech. specialist at disability services knew that js was a no go. So, the department heads debated long and hard, and decided at the end to let me take cs107 instead of the cs101/cs102 sequence. Cs107 is meant for computer engineering majors, (although they allow cs majors with special situations into it), and it is all intro c++ stuff that you would have gotten from 101/102 anyway, minus the html and js of course.
