Abstract

Disability Ombudsman’s office is an independent institution for protection, promotion and monitoring of the rights of persons with disabilities in the Republic of Croatia as well as the UN Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (UN CRPD). The UN CRPD introduced a revolutionary paradigm shift towards persons with disabilities at the centre of which is the principle of reasonable accommodation. The article outlines the meaning of reasonable accommodation in the context of high education. Despite the fact that legal regulations fail to stipulate forms and ways of assuring reasonable accommodation for students with disabilities, the legal obligation for its provision is laid out in the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia, the UN CRPD and the Anti-discrimination act. The article gives an outline of these legal provisions and forms of reasonable accommodation and supports that have already been put in place as well as gives recommendations for improving the system.
