Did you know?
Over 26% of adults in the U.S. live with some form of disability—and ADA protections apply to millions in the workforce.
Employers are required by law to provide “reasonable accommodations,” but most accommodations cost nothing or very little to implement.
You do NOT need to reveal your diagnosis to your employer to receive job-related accommodations—only your functional limitations.
Retaliation for requesting accommodations is illegal under the ADA, and affected individuals can seek redress through the EEOC.
