ck: Is this an application for the public sector--ie, city, county, state, or
fed government? That would explain the application's lingo.
As a rule, private companies don't have to comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) unless the company does business with the government.
Then, some ADA statutes apply.
So, as a rule again, people who need reasonable accommodations in order to do
("succeed at") the job are well-advised to work for the government, since it is
mandated to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. One mandate is
non-discrimination in employment--in hiring, advancement, and in treatment on
the job. (Employer must have the company picnic in an accessible park, or
arrange for some way to transport people with disabilities in a respectful
manner. It happens...)

I had no idea that the question was related to the ADA. I am guessing that
ADA is American Disabilities Act.

Absurdities? (Was the ADA passed after you became a full-time
Mom?)

<<Getting the gist of "reasonable accommodations"? A little bit?>>
It's getting clearer. Before I was a full-time Mom these absurdities were
not on the appications. Btw, I type 120 wpm, thank you very much.

who has been told repeatedly that she is "over-qualified" for a job -- what
the hell do they care??? If I'm over-qualified, I'm over-qualified, if I want
the job and I can do it, give it to me!
