Student Accomodations
Accommodations are reasonable adjustments made in the workplace that allow a person with a disability to apply for jobs and fully perform the duties of a position.
Most accommodations are easy to implement. See below for a few examples.
- Providing applicants with the interview questions ahead of time
- Flexible work schedules
- Adding computer software such as text to speech or screen magnifiers
- Alternative communication methods
- Moving the workspace to an environment that is more quiet or with better lighting
When it comes to obtaining accommodations, it’s important to understand that it’s your responsibility to communicate your need for an accommodation by disclosing your disability.
There are many community and government organizations that can provide more information about and funding for obtaining accommodations. Click here for a list of resources that can assist with accommodations.
