special accommodations
Customized support provisions
Special accommodations are modifications or adjustments made to help someone participate in something they otherwise couldn't—or couldn't fairly.
The phrase appears most often in educational and workplace contexts, where it refers to supports for people with disabilities: She receives special accommodations for her dyslexia, including extra time on tests.
The term can also apply to unusual arrangements made for anyone's particular needs: The hotel made special accommodations for guests with dietary restrictions.
