- Description
SHRM CEU's PENDING
This workshop will provide grounding in disability law and best practices that will establish a framework for developing both policy and practical answers to questions encountered in the disability arena: When is a condition a disability? What is reasonable? Who decides and how?
A brief history of disability rights movement will provide an understanding of disability laws place within the family of civil rights laws. Building on this perspective an exploration of case law and best practices will be used to model an approach that is informed by legal principles and can guide operational decisions, and dispute resolution. A case study approach will allow frequent opportunities for reflection, questions and answers.
Topics include:
- Determining Disability
- Evaluating Accommodation Requests
- Resources for Accommodation and Assistive Technology
- Undue Burden
- Determining Direct Threat
- Complaint Resolution
Extensive resource materials including statutes, regulations, case law, model policies & forms will be provided in an on-line format.
