2. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) & Reasonable Accommodation
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employers must provide a reasonable accommodation to the known physical or mental limitations of a qualified applicant or employee with a disability unless it can be shown that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the business.
The obligation to provide reasonable accommodations applies to all aspects of employment.

3. reasonable accommodation?
What is a
reasonable accommodation?
Personal devices like eyeglasses, hearing aids, or
wheelchairs & other mobility devices.
Modification or adjustment to a job, the work environment, or the way things are done that enables a qualified individual with a disability to enjoy equal employment opportunity.
Special treatment in the form of equipment, office supplies,
flexibility, etc. for employees with disabilities in the workplace.

4. Not Quite… An employer is NOT required to
provide an accommodation that
is primarily for personal use.
Equipment or devices that assist a
person in daily activities on and
off the job are considered personal
items that an employer is not
required to provide.

5. Sorry…
Reasonable accommodation is a key nondiscrimination requirement of the ADA because of the special nature of discrimination faced by people with disabilities. Many people with disabilities can perform jobs without any need for accommodations. But many others are excluded from jobs that they are qualified to perform because of unnecessary barriers in the workplace and the work environment. The ADA recognizes that such barriers may discriminate against qualified people with disabilities just as much as overt exclusionary practices. For this reason, the ADA requires reasonable accommodation as a means of overcoming unnecessary barriers that prevent or restrict employment opportunities for otherwise qualified individuals with disabilities.

6. CORRECT! Reasonable accommodations can include a variety of things,
including but not limited to:
Making facilities readily accessible to and usable by an employee with a disability
Restructuring a job by reallocating or redistributing marginal job functions
Modified work schedules
Specialized office equipment or technology.
