Independence Through Resilience – Reasonable Accommodations: What are They and How to Get Them? Part II

Participants will build off the previous lesson on reasonable accommodations by getting the opportunity to test in real time low-to-mid tech options they can use in the community and on a worksite. We’ll roleplay the disclosure process and practice making an accommodation request, creating tools that we can utilize in the future to support us during those processes. We’ll test our understanding of accommodations by matching a potential accommodation to a specific task or barrier and will complete the training by drafting our own individual Accommodations List that can be provided to loved ones, VR counselors, and employers. By participating in this training, participants will have hands-on experience with using various accommodations and will have practical resources they can take with them into their day to day lives.
