<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
DBTAC: Mid-Atlantic ADA Center and the University of Maryland are conducting a
study on reasonable accommodations. We are requesting your assistance in
encouraging people to take the survey. We feel that this will produce really
valuable information to employers and to people with disabilities.
We are looking for employers, employees with disabilities who have requested
accommodations and providers who have advised either group about the
accommodation process to take the survey. Those who are interested will
be offered the opportunity for a gift certificate lottery at the completion of
the survey.</span></font></p>

you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.</span></font></p>
