Professor Katherine Macfarlane, Director of the Disability Law and Policy Program, recently participated in a Q&A on self-accommodations with the American Bar Association’s Commission on Disability Rights. The Q&A stems from Self-Accommodations, a new article abstract from Macfarlane available on SSRN.
Macfarlane states that “Self-accommodation should be viewed as a rational response to inaccessible systems, not as the result of an information deficit that can be easily cured. Once self-accommodation is better understood, reducing reliance on it starts with improving formal accommodation processes.”
