The duty to accommodate is a legal obligation requiring schools, employers, landlords, and other service providers to take reasonable steps to remove barriers related to protected characteristics such as disability. In education, this means schools must meaningfully assess a student’s needs and provide supports, adjustments, or changes that allow the student to access learning on an equal basis with peers. The duty is individualised: schools cannot rely on blanket rules or assumptions about what students need. In British Columbia, accommodation must be provided up to the point of undue hardship. A failure to explore options, implement agreed supports, or respond in good faith may amount to discrimination.
