What are reasonable accommodations for a disability?

Reasonable accommodations for a disability are changes to the laws or regulations which make it easier for people with disabilities to access services or products. In North Dakota, the Disability Planning Law requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees or applicants with disabilities. This includes modifying the work environment, providing or changing equipment, adjusting or modifying job duties, and providing additional time for tests and other activities. Other possible accommodations may include a plan for attendance management, providing a sign-language interpreter, providing an accessible website or technology, offering flexible hours, or providing assistive devices. Reasonable accommodations may also be provided to disabled customers, such as offering wheelchair accessible entrances and accessible seating. Some other reasonable accommodation examples that are not mentioned in the Disability Planning Law in North Dakota include providing transportation assistance, offering reader services, providing accessible parking options, and allowing service animals on the premises. It is also important to ensure reasonable accommodations are offered to disabled individuals who are visitors to North Dakota. Furthermore, it is illegal to discriminate against a person with a disability in North Dakota, so employers should also take steps to investigate and resolve any complaints of discrimination.
