QUESTION: Is there anything that my employer must provide to help me do my job and accommodate my disability?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other disability-related nondiscrimination laws have specific requirements regarding reasonable accommodations. The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) Job Accommodation Network (JAN) has a wealth of information on accommodations for both employers and employees on the JAN Web site or by calling 800-526-7234 (voice) or 877-781-9403 (TTY). The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) also has an excellent resource for employers regarding accommodations, "Small Employers and Reasonable Accommodation."
