Disability Disclosure and the Interactive Process
October 14, 2025, 1:00-2:15 pm EST
Presenter: Jeffrey Tamburo, Training and Content Development Specialist, Northeast ADA Center
Can an employer ask a job applicant or employee if they have a disability? How do I best support a job seeker/employee in making the best choice for them when it comes to disclosing a disability? What does the ADA mean by “the interactive process”? A job application invites applicants to “self-identify” as having a disability—what does this mean? This session will not only review what the ADA says about disability disclosure in the workplace, but also the very real human impact of disclosure. The presentation will last approximately 60 minutes followed by an additional fifteen minutes of Q&A time. One hour of CRC credit available.
