Reasonable Adjustments
The idea of reasonable adjustments is to provide equity. Equity is excellent. For me though, the term, ‘reasonable adjustments’, not quite so much…
Adjustments is ok- adjustments are necessary at times. But I have always struggled with the first part, ‘reasonable’… Because everyone has needs. And everyone’s needs are legitimate and valid.
Accessibility
Accessibility describes something that can be accessed by as many people as possible. Most often, accessibility is thought of in relation to disability, but as the definition suggests, accessibility applies to, and is important for, everyone, not just disabled people. I like to think of the things someone needs to facilitate access as their access needs.
