Understanding The ADA And Reasonable Accommodations
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) states that employers must provide reasonable accommodations for employees who have a disability. Per the ADA, reasonable accommodation is a modification to the hiring process, job duties or work environment that enables someone who has a disability to perform to the same extent as someone who does not.
Reasonable accommodations can include:
- Physical changes such as adding a ramp or handrails
- Technology such as screen reader software, closed captions and video phones
- Communication such as brail signage or sign language interpreters
- Policies such as allowing users to bring service animals to work
As one of the region’s premier business and employment law firms, we have a deep understanding of the ADA’s many complex regulations. Every day, we counsel our clients to take smart steps regarding ADA compliance and human resource management.
