Disclosing a Physical or Mental Health Condition

Having a physical or mental health condition can certainly have an impact on your performance and general well-being while at work. Conditions like anxiety, asthma, epilepsy, hearing loss, and autoimmune disorders can affect your ability to focus, type, communicate, or carry out physical work duties. How do you know if and when you should disclose your condition to your employer? Are you required to disclose that information? How much should you tell them? That's what we'll cover in this program, as we discuss your rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA. We'll also go over how to seek necessary workplace accommodations for your condition.
