REQUESTING JOB ACCOMMODATIONS -- PART 9


THE FINE ART OF REQUESTING 
JOB ACCOMMODATIONS

Here are some strategies to consider when asking for accommodations on the job:

If the accommodations you’re requesting are more high tech and expensive than merely raising your desk up on wooden blocks, be prepared to suggest possible sources of funding.

Your employer may be happy to pay the whole cost of pricey voice-controlled software or a special hands-free speaker phone.

However, the advance homework you’ve done on what vocational rehabilitation or other sources will and will not pay for may come in handy.
