ADA accommodations are modifications or adjustments made to a job, work environment, or the way a job is done that enable a person with a disability who is qualified for the job to perform the essential functions of that job and enjoy equal employment opportunities. These accommodations can be religious, physical, mental or emotional, academic, or related to transportation and telecommunications. Accommodations are considered "reasonable" if they do not create an undue hardship or a direct threat.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, unless doing so would cause an undue hardship. Reasonable accommodations can include changing job tasks, providing reserved parking, improving accessibility in a work area, and more. The process for requesting a reasonable accommodation involves disclosing a disability to the employer, and the employer must consider each request on a case-by-case basis.
Overall, ADA accommodations are designed to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to employment opportunities and can perform their job duties to the best of their abilities.
