Denying necessary accommodations to employees with disabilities it's a denial of basic human needs that we all, in one way or another, seek to fulfill.

👉or requesting a dish without a specific ingredient. Both are accommodations made to meet individual needs.

👉When we let others know we'll be late or ask for an extension on a deadline, we are, knowingly or not, seeking an accommodation. 

👉Even the request for clarification on a task or the call to be treated with respect are, at their core, requests for accommodations.


Accommodations are not about seeking special treatment or taking an easy way out. It's a natural dance of meeting diverse needs and preferences.


Accommodations aren't just about meeting legal requirements; they are a reflection of our collective commitment to inclusivity and respect.


The denial of accommodations showcases a lack of understanding and empathy. It's a failure to recognise the diversity of needs within our shared human experience.
