We higher education administrators and practitioners in the world of postsecondary disability services experience the ever‐evolving transformation of accommodations and services for college students with disabilities. Just a few years ago, providing “flexibility with assignment deadlines case‐by‐case” was considered an infringement on essential academic standards. We all know that these changes in terms of what is deemed an accommodation and/or service have benefited our students in giving them access; however, there is a dearth of information on the transition from the postsecondary level to reasonable accommodations in the workplace.
