Accommodation in terms of inclusion refers to ensuring that individuals with diverse needs and abilities are provided with equal opportunities and access to participate in activities, programs, and services. This includes making modifications, adjustments, or adaptations to existing practices, environments, or materials to ensure that individuals with disabilities or other marginalized groups are not excluded or disadvantaged. Accommodation can involve physical changes to spaces, such as ramps, elevators, or accessible washrooms, or it can involve providing alternative formats or supports, such as providing written materials in braille or using sign language interpreters. The goal is to create an inclusive environment that promotes full participation, equality, and respect for all individuals.
