The finance department at Avondale Industries is updating their software platform, and the training and development office has been asked to work with the department to provide training for their financial analysts. The training will be conducted in a computer lab where all participants will be able to use a dedicated computer. One of the long-time employees has developed retinitis pigmentosa, which limits her field of vision. The trainer was told that for the training the employee will need a computer that has a larger-than-typical screen and a black background with white letters. Arranging for a larger screen in the lab that will meet the employee's needs is proving to be a hassle for the trainer. Why is it necessary to accommodate these special needs?

• Making accommodations for the financial analyst will make it more likely the company will be able to retain her as an employee.
• It is necessary to make the accommodations for the financial analyst because the company wants to be known for treating people with disabilities well.
• If the financial analyst can participate in the training with reasonable accommodations, the trainer is obligated by law to meet the special needs.
• If the training is required for her job, the trainer is obligated by law to provide anything the financial analyst needs to be successful.
