[quote=Anonymous]Employment lawyer here. I have never heard of learning disabilities impacting life insurance. I don't think LDs impact life span or mortality or risk taking -- which is what raises life insurance rates. However, you might want to talk to a financial planner. As for accommodations at work, yes, you would be entitled to accommodations if (in simple terms) you are qualified to do your job but need accommodations because of your learning disabilities. These could include having more time, having a special layout to your office, having your office in a less distractable place, having a special keyboard, having a particular schedule. It's really hard to say because LDs is a very broad term. I think that if you have struggled with your writing despite being organized, focused, highly intelligent, and taking numerous writing courses, you might look into this. [/quote]
