What is a reasonable accommodation?

• A. A change in the work environment to assist a disabled person to apply for a job, perform job duties, or receive the benefits of employment
• B. A wage increase
• C. A job transfer
• D. A promotion

Answer: (A)

Reasonable accommodation means adjusting the way a job is accessed or performed to enable a qualified person with a disability to apply for the job, perform its essential duties, or enjoy the benefits of employment. This includes changes to the work environment or how work is done, such as facility modifications, assistive technology, or flexible scheduling, as long as it doesn’t create an undue hardship for the employer. The option described fits this idea because it specifies a change in the work environment to help a disabled person participate in the employment process and perform their job. Wage increases, transfers, or promotions are standard HR actions or career moves, not adjustments made to enable participation or performance.
