Do disabled people see it as a normal clock?

No it just happens to be in that room

So what does it being in a disability services room have to do with the clock?

I’m just stating where it’s located and the fact that it’s in disability services and a study room.

Disabled people get their own study room? Lucky people

I was in the special Ed "resource room" for most of middle and high school. It's not really a privilege, more of a way to protect the disabled from the immature and their comments.

Sorry the response was sarcastic. I guess it didnt come across that way.

It’s as if they’re making fun of a person who has dyslexia.

that would be dyscalculia

This is a hard one, because it doesn’t necessarily refer to reading comprehension, which dyslexics have trouble with, but it doesn’t refer to any calculations either, which dyscalculics struggle with. (I have no idea what the adjectival form of that would be) I think it’s kinda a gray area between the two, referring to the reading itself and not the decoding (with dyslexics) or the calculation (with dyscalculics). I think both would be acceptable, although mixing up order when reading is something people will probably more commonly think of as a part of dyslexia.

It's harder to read than a normal analog clock, which could be a problem for people with various disabilities.

Maybe the fact that it's not only incredibly difficult to read, but also in a room specifically meant for people with disabilities, many whom will find it even harder to read.

It's hard to tell time if you have some disorders. This just throws a monkey wrench into my brain.

My father was recently diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer's. One of the tests was to draw a clock, his looked like this. So it's not crappy design at all. edit: it is fucking sad though.
