Final answer:
The statement is false. An undue burden refers to an excessively onerous requirement. Reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, mandated by law, are not considered an undue burden.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that an example of an undue burden is making changes in a program’s policies, procedures, and practices to accommodate a child with special needs is false. The concept of undue burden typically refers to a requirement or constraint that is excessively onerous or difficult to fulfill. In the context of disability law, particularly the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), requiring programs to make reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities, which may include modifying policies or practices, is a legal mandate, not an undue burden. An undue burden in this context would be an accommodation request that is significantly difficult or expensive relative to the resources of the program or entity.
For example, in the Supreme Court's context regarding abortion, an undue burden refers to a state regulation that has the purpose or effect of placing a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion before the fetus attains viability. This definition stems from the Planned Parenthood v. Casey decision in 1992.
