Understanding Workplace Accommodations: Practical Strategies for Requesting and Responding

In recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), join the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) and Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability (EARN) as we celebrate the value and talent of American workers with disabilities and explore practical strategies for navigating workplace accommodations. Whether you are a worker or job seeker considering an accommodation, a service provider supporting someone through the process, or an employer responding to a request, this session will help you understand what to expect and how to move forward with confidence. Participants will explore key steps in the accommodation process, including disability disclosure, requesting accommodations, and identifying potential workplace solutions. JAN will highlight strategies for requesting accommodations during the hiring process and throughout employment, with practical guidance for approaching accommodation conversations and navigating the process. A guest presenter from EARN will share strategies for employers and others responding to accommodation requests, including ways to strengthen communication, collaborate on solutions, and support effective workplace practices. Come ready to learn practical tools, resources, and strategies that can help make accommodation conversations more productive and the process easier to navigate.
