[NABS-L] How/when is it a good time to disclose

[Roanna Bacchus]

Hi Haoran thanks for your message. My name is Roanna Bacchus, and I am totally blind. When I had my two internships during college, I disclosed my blindness during the interview process. You can either disclose your disability in the form of a letter or simply state what accommodations you will need to do your job. I would recommend that you bring any assistive technology that you use to your interview, and to the internship. Be as open and honest as possible about your needs.

Sincerely,

Roanna Bacchus

Hello all,

Hope everyone is doing well.

I am wondering when is it a good time to disclose my disability.
I am starting an internship this summer and have been exchanging emails
with my team lead, and I was thinking of what is the best way to disclose
my blindness.

I am wondering does anyone have any advise in how/when to go about this?

Thanks,
Haoran
