Common Mistakes When Asking For Accommodations From Your Employer - And How To Avoid Them

Requesting that your employer provide a reasonable accommodation can be an uncomfortable experience for many individuals with disabilities like lupus. Join Paula Morgan of Allsup Employment Services (AES) as she shares ways individuals with disabilities can avoid common return to work mistakes when starting the conversation about reasonable accommodations with an employer to ensure you receive the support you need in the workplace. She will also provide an introduction to Allsup’s Ticket to Work program.
