Reasonable Accommodation for Self-Injection

Meaning

Reasonable Accommodation for Self-Injection is a specific legal and organizational requirement to provide modifications or adjustments to a work or public environment that enable an individual to safely and privately administer necessary injectable medications. This is a critical provision for individuals managing chronic endocrine conditions, such as diabetes or hormone deficiencies, who rely on frequent subcutaneous or intramuscular injections to maintain physiological stability. The accommodation ensures that the individual is not disadvantaged in their employment or education due to the necessity of their time-sensitive medical treatment.
