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.
