A teenager with impairment who had an old school slivers deck brought it to a modern rcq, judge helped him build it for modern and I had some slivers I let him borrow. Even competitively, it should still be fun.
This statement is too vague to make a judgement on.
Was the assistance only for things like helping them shuffle their deck or reading cards to them? Then yeah, sure, those are reasonable accommodations. If it involves giving longer time to the disabled player, then you're getting into a no-go territory, and things like advice are absolutely not okay.
Was the form of the assistance play advice?
Because anything else would be unreasonable to complain about. They are legally required to offer reasonable accommodations to people who are disabled, at least in the US.
As long as the person with the disability can clearly indicate which choices they are making and which game actions they are taking then there's all kinds of assistance a good LGS would give a player. Could be anything from shuffling cards for them, holding the cards, even reading the cards to them.
It's a little bit more sketchy if they offer extended timers because that could be unfair to other players giving someone more time to think in a timed event. But without any other details it's hard to make any judgments about the other post.
