The provision of assistive technology (AT) as an accommodation is often associated with a cost. Employer concerns about the cost of providing AT can be a barrier for individuals with disabilities (IWD) who are seeking employment. Rehabilitation counselors & students should be prepared to address employer concerns regarding the cost of an accommodation in order to facilitate successful job placement and/or retention of IWD. This study evaluated the average cost of providing AT in the workplace compared to the average cost of providing other types of accommodations, as reported to the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) by employers. Results of this study show that there is no significant difference in the cost of providing AT in comparison to the cost of providing other types of accommodations (N=72). Rehabilitation professionals can use this information when exploring strategies for negotiating for the use of assistive technology by consumers as an accommodation.
