Resource for your Practice: Searchable Online Accommodation Resource


Looking to explore ideas on accommodations?

The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) is an American based resource that provides free accommodation ideas and information for persons with disability seeking accommodations at work or school. JAN's Searchable Online Accommodation Resource (SOAR)system lets users explore accommodations based on limitations (e.g. back impairment), disabilities (e.g. diabetes) or work-related functions (e.g. commute).

Although much of the information is from the American context, many of the recommendations and ideas are relevant where occupational therapists play an important role in assessing and making treatment recommendations from a client-centered perspective enabling participation and engagement at work or school.
