Abstract

Workplace accommodations are essential for enabling people with disabilities to actively participate in work and retain their jobs. Accommodations can be categorized into three basic types: technical aids, practical-organizational adjustments, and broader social adaptations in the workplace. They may involve modifications to the job, work environment, processes, or conditions to reduce physical and social barriers, ensuring equal opportunities in a competitive work environment. While specific accommodations can be very concrete and reflect a down-to-earth fix-the-problem attitude, research shows that working successfully with inclusion may also require more complex approaches. In the chapter we introduce the three basic types of accommodations, and outline workplace accommodations as social processes involving several stakeholders in (and outside) the organization.
