Reasonable Accommodation Disability

Meaning

Reasonable Accommodation Disability is a legal and ethical requirement, often mandated by legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act, compelling employers and public entities to make necessary, non-undue burden modifications to the work environment or service provision to allow an individual with a disability to perform essential job functions or access services. In a clinical context, this applies to ensuring physical and digital accessibility for patients and staff with health-related limitations, which may include conditions with an endocrine or metabolic origin. It reflects a commitment to equitable access in the health and wellness space.
