Reasonable accommodations
Reasonable adjustments (UK) or accommodations (US) are changes that make learning or work more accessible. They reduce barriers without changing goals.
Definition
Adjustments can include extra time, quiet spaces, or assistive tools. They are meant to remove unnecessary barriers so people can participate fully. The specifics depend on context and individual needs. Asking for adjustments is a right, not a favour.
