Disability Disclosure and the Interactive Process

Can an employer ask a job applicant or employee if they have a disability? How do I support a job seeker or employee in making the best choice about disclosing a disability? What does the ADA mean by “the interactive process?” A job application invites applicants to “self-identify” as having a disability – what does this mean? This session will review not only what the ADA says about disability disclosure in the workplace, but also the very real human impact of disclosure. 

The presentation will last approximately 60 minutes and be followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. One hour of CRC credit is available.
