Reasonable Accommodation
Simply put
Any change to the environment, equipment, processes, or practices that improves accessibility or helps an individual perform or benefit from an activity, based on the need of an individual.
Why it matters
The term "reasonable accommodation" is often used in the context of employment because of its reference in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but can be used to describe any accessibility-related adjustments.
The ADA states that a reasonable accommodation may include:
Reasonable accommodations are required by law, but accommodation requests do not have to be agreed to if doing so would cause an undue hardship.
