The Computer/Electronic Accommodations Program (CAP) was established in 1990 as the Department of Defense (DoD) centrally funded reasonable accommodations program. CAP provides assistive technology (AT) to support DoD civilian employees with disabilities and wounded, ill, or injured Service members. CAP's mission ensures equal access to information and opportunities across the DoD.
A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a job or work environment to enable a qualified applicant or employee with a disability to participate in the application process or to preform essential job functions. A reasonable accommodation also includes adjustments to assure that a qualified individual with a disability has rights and privileges in employment equal to those of employees without disabilities. The provision of reasonable accommodations is the responsibility of the employing agency. CAP serves as a resource to the DoD.
