Employees with disabilities, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), receive reasonable accommodations to aid them in performing essential job functions that their disability prevents them from performing without assistance. It's important to note that reasonable accommodations are specific to the employee's own disability and cannot be granted for someone else's disability, such as a family member they live with.

In cases where the request pertains to the serious health condition of the employee's child, spouse, or parent, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) would be offered provided the employee meets the necessary requirements. Reasonable accommodations under the ADA do not apply in these situations.
