Accommodations Advisory Committee Report

What's the Project?

Write a report to present to our Accommodations Advisory Committee. Give your experience and opinion on the process of acquiring accommodations in the workplace.

Project Requirements

  • Create a report for our virtual accommodations advisory committee meeting. This should be a short report on the most significant experiences you've had or know of someone else having while trying to set up an accommodating work environment.

  • Choose an anonymous subject who has or needs workplace accommodations (this subject could be yourself).

  • Interview your subject about a typical workday in their life. Here are some things you may want to consider:

    • What things do they have to do that other people don't have to think about while at work?

    • What was their process for obtaining accommodations in their workplace?

    • Have they had to limit their options based on the willingness of employers to fully accommodate their needs?

    • What other workplace challenges does this person encounter as a result of their situation?

  • Write a short report summarizing the relevant experiences of the subject you've interviewed. Submit the report to be reviewed by our accommodations advisory committee.

Who should Apply?

  • Do you have a disability that has affected the way you work?

  • Or do you have a friend who would be willing to help you understand their experience, and report on it?
