​Below are the three b

Terms and Explanations
Direct Threat
​
This is defined as a child’s health condition posing a significant threat to the safety and wellbeing of the other children in care. Caregivers must determine this based on factual evidence and not assumptions or stereotypes. Some examples may be: a history of violence, or a communicable disease.
Undue Burden
​
Changes or alterations to the program that would incur significant cost or difficulty.
Reasonable Modifications
​
This refers to changes that can be made to a program without too much expense or difficulty. These are unique to each program and can include simple things such as lowering hooks for jackets and backpacks.
Auxiliary Aids and Services
​
These are communication assistance programs, services, or devices and include a wide range of things from an interpreter to assistive technology.

​​Each program has its own set of unique features and components that alter each of these potential categories and how they may or may not be interpreted. The biggest take-away from these terms is to examine your program to see what a reasonable modification looks like and to avoid any undue burdens or direct threats. Typically there are multiple options without spending much money or extended effort to be ADA compliant in a reasonable manner.
