[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]À lot of people would say wait until you start the job. I would still wait until after the offer, but it comes with the risk of the offer being rescinded (on some pretext). I get the sense you would rather that happen than to take the job only to learn they can't accommodate.

Would it be possible to ask during the interview process to have an opportunity to tour the office and meet the team before you make a decision? Then you could mention that you'd need a ramp, or whatever. [/quote]

Don't do this. It's much easier for an employer to "decide on another candidate" at this point in the process. Wait until you have an offer. That puts you in a much better decision. If the employer decides to rescind the offer, they will have to prove that they did so for reasons that were not discriminatory. If you have an interactive back and forth about your requested accommodations, as is required, and they decide that your requested accommodation isn't reasonable you will have more information to go on. Either you will decide that they are being reasonable or you can decide to file a complaint under the ADA. [/quote]
