Presented by Joseph Kaplan

The EEOC expects the Federal Government to be a model employer of individuals with disabilities. This recorded webinar with noted attorney Joseph Kaplan will get your agency closer to that goal by outlining the essential requirements of employing individuals with mental and intellectual disabilities and delivering expert guidance to address reasonable accommodation and other management concerns -- all while staying EEO compliant.

You gain a toolbox of strategies to:

• Identify when and how medical information can be requested
• Start a discussion about reasonable accommodation if a conduct issue seems to be disability-related
• Engage in a meaningful interactive process to determine an effective accommodation
• Take appropriate steps if you reasonably perceive an employee with a mental disability poses a safety threat
• Navigate the conflict between EEOC and OPM regulations concerning Fitness for Duty exams

Plus, you learn how to address unusual requests for accommodation, such as emotional support animals, so you're prepared to handle any request that comes up.
