Tuesday, February 18: Michael Richardson - What is the Americans with Disability Act and How Does it Affect Those with ADHD?

Teens: Important information for High School Students.

What happens when those with disabilities such as ADHD enter the workplace? How does the workplace differ from the K-12 system? Michael Richardson, of the Northwest ADA Center, will explain how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) covers disclosure and accommodations related to employment situations. Should we disclose? Do we have the right to automatic accommodations or do we negotiate with employers once we are employed? Michael will present an overview of disabilities/ADHD in employment and the job-seeking process and how the ADA provides you with rights and responsibilities. 

Michael Richardson is the Co-director of the NW ADA Center in Mountlake Terrace, WA. He provides technical assistance, continuing education and technical consultation services related to compliance of facility and public rights-of-way with accessibility provisions of the ADA and other related federal and state requirements for professionals, businesses, state and local government agencies and consumers.
