What’s It All About?

ADA accommodation requests are rarely neat, simple or textbook. More often, they arrive wrapped in uncertainty, operational challenges and just enough legal risk to keep HR professionals awake at night.

In this complimentary 75-minute webinar, my friend Matt Morris and I will lead a practical, fast-paced session focused on the accommodation issues employers wrestle with every day.

Drawing on real-world scenarios, recent developments and years of helping employers navigate the ADA, Matt and I will share practical strategies for managing difficult accommodation requests, engaging in a meaningful interactive process, and reaching defensible solutions that work for both employees and the business.

Along the way, you can expect actionable guidance, candid discussion and the occasional dose of our trademark corny humor (and singing). Whether you’re struggling with extended medical leave, neurodiversity-related accommodation or interactive process nightmares, you’ll leave with concrete tools you can put to work immediately.

We will tackle the following key issues:

We’ll tackle questions including:

  • When is enough enough? Managing repeated extensions of leave and determining when additional leave remains a reasonable accommodation versus an undue hardship.
  • The neurodiversity accommodation boom: Practical strategies for addressing requests tied to ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, executive-function challenges, sensory sensitivities, communication preferences and workplace interactions.
  • Interactive process pitfalls that create liability: Employers are losing these cases, and not just over policy gaps. Common employer mistakes, warning signs of a broken accommodation process, and the practical approaches courts and agencies now expect to see.

No theory. No legalese. Just practical answers to the accommodation requests that land on your desk every week and leave you wondering whether you’re making the right call.

There will be corny jokes.

And there will be singing. There definitely will be singing.

When you register (click here), please pose your most pressing interactive process and/or reasonable accommodation question, and we’ll do our best to cover it during the webinar.
