  5. Discussion: Disclosure in the Workplace 5

  6. What experiences have you had with disclosure in the workplace or elsewhere? What are the most important things you learned from today’s ADA presentation? How will you incorporate what you learned into your current workplace or job search? What other challenges have you faced related to the workplace or your job search? Discussion 6

  7. There is no hard and fast rule as to whether or not you should disclose your diagnosis There is no law that says you must tell a potential employer or current employer about your diagnosis – unless you want to request protections or accommodations under the ADA To learn more about ADA provisions and potential accommodations, visit: Rocky Mountain ADA Center: http://www.adainformation.org/ ADA National Network: http://www.adaresources.org/ Key Points 7

  8. When deciding whether (and how much) to disclose to your employer, ask yourself: Why do you want your employer to know about your diagnosis? Will disclosure improve your work situation or professional relationships? How so? Are you prepared to ask your employer to support you in a different way because of this new information? Can you be specific about what you need? What are the risks of disclosing? Tip: Before approaching your employer, prepare by talking through these questions with someone you trust. Key Questions 8
