The Reasonable Accommodations Process
The reasonable accommodations process is an important part of providing equitable services to individuals with disabilities. It outlines the necessary steps to ensure that all individuals receive the services and supports needed to access the same opportunities and services offered to others.
Requesting Accommodations
Requesting accommodations can be an important part of making sure that you have the support you need to be successful in school. Here are some steps to be aware of:
What to Disclose
Employees must disclose the type of accommodations they need, but not the nature or severity of their disabilities, unless necessary to identify an effective accommodation.
Documentation
Typically, an employee will need to make the request in writing and provide documentation of their disability and how it affects their ability to perform essential job functions. This documentation may come from a healthcare provider or an occupational therapist.
Making the Request
If an employee needs reasonable accommodations, they should initially inform their supervisor or manager of their request or consult their employer's internal procedures.
What is Undue Hardship?
Undue Hardship
An undue hardship refers to an action that requires significant difficulty or expense in relation to the size and resources of the employer.
The interactive Process
Once an employee requests reasonable accommodations, under ADA, the employer must engage in an interactive process with the employee to determine appropriate accommodations. The interactive process involves a dialogue between the employee and employer to identify potential barriers in the workplace and explore possible accommodations to overcome those barriers.
