Reasonable Accommodation
Reasonable Accommodation (ADA + AI Context)
Employer obligation under ADA to modify application processes, assessments, or working conditions to enable individuals with disabilities to participate equally. AI hiring tools must provide accommodations such as extra time, alternative formats, or assistive technology compatibility.
Why This Matters for Employers
AI assessments (timed tests, video interviews, gamified assessments, cognitive tests) may disadvantage people with disabilities. Employers must provide reasonable accommodations: extended time, alternative assessment methods, accessible interfaces. Failure to accommodate AI-driven processes violates ADA.
