Workplace Accommodations: Processes and Tools


 


Appropriate workplace accommodations can help a person with a disability
maximize his or her independence and participation in the workplace.  But
what types of accommodations are possible?  How can you determine what
solutions will best fit a particular situation?  What resources exist to
help with the process?


 


The Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access (CATEA) at
Georgia Tech will be offering its course: Workplace Accommodations:
Processes and Tools starting October 4, 2011.  It will run as a series of
three webcasts on subsequent Tuesdays, from 12:00-2:00 PM (Eastern).


 


The course provides in-depth discussion about accommodations that can be
constructed, installed, or implemented to enhance an individual's safety and
function in the workplace.  This course provides an overview of functional
barriers commonly experienced in the workplace, legal and policy issues that
affect provision of services, and AT and universal design strategies to
improve performance of work activities. The course provides resources for
assessing, identifying and implementing accommodation needs.

 


This beginning-to-intermediate-level course is appropriate for people
providing rehabilitation services as well as for employers.  Continuing
education credits will be provided.
