a business that makes a 100,000 a year profit probably wouldn’t be required to retrofit their office to accommodatie a wheelchair–but they maybe required to provide a specailized computer screen for a person with low vision

The employer is responsible for arranging/identifying what accommodations need to be in place.The key word here is reasonable. Usually, reasonable accommodations are not expensive or outrageous which is part of being reasonable.For example, let's say an accounting clerk is in a wheelchair but the accounting office is on the 2nd floor of an old building with no elevator. The employer would need to move the accounting dept into an area that can be reached by an employee in a wheelchair or provide a workspace for that employee to do their job in a place that is accessible.Another example: say an employee that does computer work needs a special keyboard in order to do their job properly. The employer would need to purchase the keyboard so the employee can do the job.<br><b>References : </b><br> The employer has to pay for any "reasonable accommodation" that enables a disabled person to do a job.
