What are "reasonable accommodations" under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?

Reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) refer to modifications or adjustments that enable individuals with disabilities to perform their job duties effectively. These accommodations can take various forms, including changes to the work environment, alterations to work schedules, or the provision of specialized equipment. The intent is to ensure that employees with disabilities have equal opportunities in the workplace, allowing them to successfully execute their responsibilities.

In this context, financial support, extended leave for all employees, or wage increases do not directly address the needs created by a disability in relation to job performance. Reasonable accommodations are specifically tailored adjustments to the work environment or workflow to facilitate the inclusion and support of employees with disabilities, making option B the most accurate representation of the concept as defined by the ADA.
