reasonable accommodation
Disability access modification
Reasonable accommodation is an adjustment made to allow someone with a disability to participate in work, education, or public life.
The concept comes from civil rights law—employers must provide accommodations unless doing so causes undue hardship.
Examples include wheelchair ramps, flexible schedules, or modified job duties.
