JAN Human Factors Consultants will provide a five-step model for accommodating individuals with disabilities in the workplace while implementing the employment provisions of the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act.

The session provides an interactive opportunity for ADA coordinators, human resource specialists, diversity managers and others involved in the employment process to explore EEOC enforcement guidance and key employment-related ADA court cases. The workshop will provide information to assist employers in making decisions that will enable the successful implementation of workplace accommodations.

Join the Human Factors Consultants in a discussion regarding how the ADA and Rehabilitation Act have impacted the job accommodation process. The workshop will address issues such as:

• What is involved in requesting and implementing a job accommodation?
• How does an employer determine who qualifies for a job accommodation?
• How might an employer accommodate employees in an original position?
• When should reassignment be considered as a job accommodation?
• Why is it important to monitor accommodations?

Presenters: Tracie DeFreitas Saab, MS; Kendra Duckworth, MS; and Linda Carter Batiste, MS.
