3. Reasonable
accommodations
Reasonable Accommodations, defined by the Department of Labor, are a modification or
adjustment to a job, the work environment, or the way things are usually done during the
hiring process that enable an individual with a disability to have an equal opportunity not
only to get a job, but successfully perform their job tasks to the same extent as people
without disabilities.

4. American disabilities
act (ADA)
The American Disibilities Act of 1990 makes it unlawful to discriminate in employment
against a qualified individual with a disability. The ADA also outlaws discrimination
against individuals with disabilities in State and local government services, public
accommodations, transportation and telecommunications.

application process
Title I - aspects of employment
Making it possible for
an employee with a
disability to enjoy
equal benefits and
privileges of
employment
Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits private employers, state and local
governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals
with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training,
and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.

6. Technology and
structures

7. Technology
There is a lot of technology that has been created for
people with disabilities. Some basic ones that most
everyone knows about are, wheel chairs [Help people
who can’t walk], prosthetic limbs [Help people who are
missing limbs], and hearing aids [Help people who can’t
hear]. Theirs computer software and hardware to help
people with mobility and sensory impairments, to be able
to use computers and mobile devices; an example for
this would be voice recognition programs. Cognitive aids
(for example computer or electrical assistive devices)
that help people with memory, attention, or other
challenges in their thinking skills. Then their tools such
as automatic page turners, to help learners with
disabilities participate in educational activities.

10. Structures
How structures is different then technology is that
structures are normally the physical modifications in the
built environment. This includes ramps, grab bars, and
wider doorways to enable access to buildings and
businesses.

14. Living Quarters
Living quarters may be challenging
because they need to be suitable for
the person, and they also need to be
affordable depending on their financial
standing. There is also the possibility
that people may be in assisted living
facilities.
Assistance
People may need
assistance in their daily
lives to help them do
basic functions, like
eat, bathe, and other
things.
Life With a disability
Safety
Safety is a very big part of their life. It is
important that the person stays safe while
still living a fun an eventful life. Safety
measures may differ among different
disabilities, but most are generally similar.
Support
The support system
that a disabled person
has is very important
because of financial
stuff, and also
assistance.

15. TRANSPORTATION

16. Public
Transportation
As of 2007, only about 13% of
disabled people reported using
public transit. This is most likely
because they are not equipped
enough for people with disabilities.
Different methods for transportation
Cars
Its is most common for people to
take personal vehicles as a way
of transportation, most of these
if the condition is severe, are
driven by assistants that they
may have.
Wheelchairs
As of 2019 there were
about 75 million people
that needed a
wheelchair on a daily
basis. This represents
1% of the population.
Walking
Walking may be harder for
disabled people, depending on
what disability they may have.
As I will go over in the next
slide, service dogs are a good
option.

17. Service Animals
Allowing animals to enter a facility refers to service animals, which are those who assist
their owner with a disability. For example, a teacher in your school suffers a respiratory
condition and her dog carries a device that provides oxygen. Even though animals are not
allowed on the school premises, your teacher has the right to have her service animal with her
at all times.

Communication, and
attitudes

19. It’s important to realize that teachers,
students, staff, or anyone really can have a
disability. Not all disabilities are visible or easy
to spot. Bringing awareness to
accommodations will lead to openness and
understanding.
Awareness

20. Communication and attitude
Reasonable accommodations should not be viewed as “special treatment” and they often
benefit everyone. For example, our school has the cold ramp which allows wheelchair
access, and access for other things. We also provide sign language classes. Our school
has made an effort to bring awareness and accommodate those in need.
