Reasonable accommodation is one of the pillars upon which the recognition of the rights of people with disabilities rests. It acquires its full meaning when understood in connection with the concept of universal design, since both concepts fall within the framework of universal accessibility. An accurate understanding of reasonable accommodation requires, on the one hand, clarifying its connection with universal design and accessibility, and on the other, unraveling what “reasonable” means. The reasonableness in accommodation takes to three kinds of reflections. On the one hand the one concerning non-discrimination, which requires to assess, when examining whether the adjustment is justified or not, if it entails a violation of the principle of equality (since it differentiates or it does not, in an unjustified manner, thus harming a human right such as accessibility). In this justifying test there is an essential methodological tool at hand, which shall be regarded as the second great reflection on reasonableness in accommodation: the principle of proportionality. In virtue of this principle, the reasonableness test requires facing the adjustment’s adequacy and necessity and, in addition to that, the advantages or sacrifices that produces on rights. And since both of these reflections do not ensure a single answer, reasonableness requires a last reflection on the basis of acceptability. The adjustment’s justification, or the lack of it, shall be subject to the community’s acceptance or rejection.

合理调适概念中的合理性

合理的住宿条件是承认残疾人权利的基础之一。当与通用设计概念结合理解时，它具有其全部含义，因为这两个概念都属于通用可访问性的框架。一方面，要对合理的住宿条件进行准确的了解，就必须阐明其与通用设计和可及性之间的联系，另一方面，要阐明“合理”的含义。住宿的合理性涉及三种思考。一方面，涉及不歧视的问题需要在审查调整是否合理时进行评估，评估是否涉及违反平等原则（因为它以不合理的方式区分或不平等），从而损害诸如可及性之类的人权）。在此合理性测试中，手头上有一个基本的方法论工具，应被视为对调和合理性的第二个重要反映：相称原理。根据这一原则，合理性检验要求面对调整的充分性和必要性，此外，还需要面对权利产生的利益或牺牲。并且由于这两种思考都不能确保一个答案，因此合理性要求在可接受性的基础上进行最后的思考。调整的合理性或缺乏合理性，应以社区的接受或拒绝为准。这应该被视为对住宿合理性的第二个重要反映：相称原则。根据这一原则，合理性检验要求面对调整的充分性和必要性，此外，还需要面对权利产生的利益或牺牲。并且由于这两种思考都不能确保一个答案，因此合理性要求在可接受性的基础上进行最后的思考。调整的合理性或缺乏合理性，应以社区的接受或拒绝为准。这应该被视为对住宿合理性的第二个重要反映：相称原则。根据这一原则，合理性检验要求面对调整的充分性和必要性，此外，还需要面对权利产生的利益或牺牲。并且由于这两种思考都不能确保一个答案，因此合理性要求在可接受性的基础上进行最后的思考。调整的合理性或缺乏合理性，应以社区的接受或拒绝为准。并且由于这两种思考都不能确保一个答案，因此合理性要求在可接受性的基础上进行最后的思考。调整的合理性或缺乏合理性，应以社区的接受或拒绝为准。并且由于这两种思考都不能确保一个答案，因此合理性要求在可接受性的基础上进行最后的思考。调整的合理性或缺乏合理性，应以社区的接受或拒绝为准。
