Reasonable adjustments

Hello everyone!

I'm new and posting here for some advice.

I work in a UK setting which provides children's holiday clubs. We have some children who are autistic with a PDA profile who would like to attend. Among other adjustments their parents requested that they use a completely different software to the one planned and explained during our week long club. The external club lead doesn't have time to rewrite the session or plan for 2 different softwares to be used before Monday. The software used by the other children will have a different outcome but is still on the same theme.

Would allowing the children to use different software with their 1:1s be an example of a reasonable adjustment or bridge adjustment? Other accommodations regarding food and visual stories have been given and we just want to do the right thing. Our small team is also made up of neurodivergent and disabled people and we feel dreadful that we may let any of the participants down.

    @ClaraB86 Yep, it would be reasonable which would be rather good.

    Call me cynical but I've been saying for years that "reasonable adjustments" are a cop out because what's reasonable is open to interpretation, which almost never benefits the person or persons needing the adjustments.
