2022 Annual Conference
This session is designed to provide actionable take-a-ways to better understand and work with the ADA in your workplace.

Are you feeling stressed?  Getting nervous about what managers are doing?  Cringing at the thought of how staff are internalizing the "interactive process?"  My friends, you are not alone!  Stop worrying about whether or not your managers have a PDR (Physicians' Desk Reference) text on their desk.  Instead, let's play the 'What if' game.  That's right, enough of the fear, let's deal with our concerns, understand the needs of employees and how we make things work for your organization.  Whether its mental health, concerning diseases or something we need google to explain, we can figure this out together, by interactively exploring what is good... what is a bad idea... and what may have you sitting with no words to say.  In this engaging and interactive session we will take a look at where the ADA stands for us, what we can do and when we need to say no based on the latest information related to the workplace from the courts to the law and everything in between.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the parameters of the ADA as it relates to identifying issues.
  • Learn options to explore interactive demands as opposed to options for success.
  • Explore ways that others went wrong to avoid potential pitfalls.

In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
