Accommodation refers to adjustments or changes made to remove barriers so that a person with a disability can participate fully and equitably in school, work, or other public life. In the context of education, accommodation is about ensuring students are able to access learning and school activities on an equal basis with their peers — not to give them an advantage, but to provide equitable access when barriers arise because of disability needs. Accommodations might involve altering how information is presented, changing assignment formats, adjusting schedules, or providing supports such as assistive technology. They are part of a broader legal obligation known as the duty to accommodate, which requires schools and other service providers to investigate and address barriers connected to disability, up to the point of undue hardship. This duty is grounded in human rights law to prevent discrimination and promote meaningful participation.
