What does “reasonable accommodation” mean?
Under the ADA, an employer of 15 or more employees must provide a reasonable accommodation to assist a person with a disability to do the essential functions of the job, unless to do so would provide an undue hardship. A reasonable accommodation is any modification or adjustment to a job, an employment practice, or work environment that makes it possible for an individual with disability to enjoy an equal employment opportunity. A person with a disability should request a reasonable accommodation when their disability would preclude them from successfully performing the essential functions of the job.
