Accessible Workplaces and Job Accommodations
The right to work free from discrimination includes the right to workplace accommodations that enable people with disabilities to perform their jobs. Yet many people with disabilities face workplaces that weren't designed for them, encounter resistance to accommodation requests, or never get hired in the first place because employers assume they can't be accommodated. Creating genuinely accessible workplaces requires both physical accessibility and organizational practices that welcome and support workers with disabilities.
