ADA Accommodation Requests:

According to Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employees with documented
Disabilities may request reasonable accommodations within their workplace for a variety of
reasons. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy, a
reasonable accommodation is "a modification or adjustment to a job, the work environment, or
the way things are usually done during the hiring process.”  The ADA requires reasonable
accommodations as they relate to three aspects of employment: 1) ensuring equal opportunity
in the application process; 2) enabling a qualified individual with a disability to perform the
essential functions of a job; and 3) making it possible for an employee with a disability to enjoy
equal benefits and privileges of employment.
