Legislative Decree No. 62 of 3 May 2024 introduced the principle of 'reasonable accommodation' in Article 5-bis of Law 104/1992 in implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The aim is to guarantee full participation and substantive equality in the various areas of life, study and work.

These are modifications or adaptations that are necessary and appropriate, in particular cases, to ensure that persons with disabilities enjoy their rights on an equal basis, without disproportionate or excessive burdens on those who implement them.

It is implemented when general measures are not sufficient to remove specific barriers. It must be proportionate and targeted, assessed on a case-by-case basis, and geared towards enabling effective participation without altering essential standards.

Practical examples: extra time for examination papers, accessible digital formats, specialised tutoring, barrier-free environments, assistive technologies.

- Subsidiarity: it only kicks in when general measures are not sufficient.
- Proportionality: no excessive burden on the institution.
- Effectiveness: adaptation must allow full participation in university life.
