[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't give up without even asking. You shouldn't have to give up a job you like that is close to home because of a disability. That is the point of the law. The employer can deny if it's an undue burden, but they also have to engage in an interactive process with you to figure out other accommodations. It may be that going back to the digital software they were using is too expensive, and they'll say it's an undue burden, but that's where you can discuss workarounds. One easy example would be that instead of writing on the same paper as your coworkers, you type yours and staple it to their paper. Or maybe there is a cheaper software that lets you scan their paper, write on it via your ipad, and convert it to a PDF to be printed for the next person. Another option is if it's not a lot of writing, you dictate it and someone else writes. There's loads of ways to deal with this.

This is the kind of disability that your employer should be willing and able to work with, since it doesn't go to your ability to do the job at all. You're perfectly capable of the job, you just have a small issue that can be worked around.

Are you sure that you need to register with the vocational rehab center for this? Is it possible to get a doctor's letter more quickly? [/quote]

Op I'm not sure honestly. I haven't seen a psychologist in years. Most likely they would want me to do a new regulation who knows? These things can be so difficult because healthcare is so damn expensive. [/quote]
