Often times, Federal hiring officials find it necessary to make a reasonable workplace accommodation for a person with a disability if it is requested and appropriate. Practical accommodations can apply to the duties of the job, and/or where and how job tasks are performed. Accommodations should make it easier for the employee to successfully perform the duties of their job. 

A couple of examples of reasonable accommodations may include providing interpreters, readers, or other personal assistants, modifying job duties, restructuring work sites, providing flexible work schedules or work sites, and providing accessible technology or other workplace adaptive equipment. 

You can request reasonable accommodations either orally or in writing. People who need accommodations are responsible for making their needs known to their bosses or to whomever it may concern. The supervisors and the individuals should explain the individual’s needs, and identify the appropriate reasonable accommodation required to meet those needs.
