    Dr. Ruth White answered:
    The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines reasonable accommodation as any change or adjustment to a job or work environment that permits a qualified applicant or employee with a disability to participate in the job application process, perform the essential functions of a job, or receive benefits and privileges of employment equal to those of employees without disabilities. For example, reasonable accommodation may include the following:
    • Job restructuring
    • Part-time or modified work schedule
    • Reassignment to a vacant position
    • Adjusting or modifying examinations, training materials, or policies
    • Making the workplace readily accessible to and usable by people with disabilities
