A job accommodation is a reasonable adjustment to a job or work
environment that makes it possible for an individual with a disability to
perform job duties. Determining whether to provide accommodations involves
considering the required job tasks, the functional limitations of the person
doing the job, the level of hardship to the employer, and other issues.
Accommodations may include specialized equipment, facility modifications,
adjustments to work schedules or job duties, as well as a whole range of other
creative solutions.
The Job Accommodation Network
(JAN), a service of the Office of Disability Employment
Policy (ODEP), provides a free consulting service on workplace
accommodations. ODEP also provides fact
sheets on job accommodations.
