Should you tell your employer or supervisor that you have ADHD?
Many people face this workplace question, especially when there is a need for accommodations. Knowing how, when, and why it might be necessary to disclose an ADHD diagnosis is the first and often most difficult part of the accommodation process. Our webinar will provide information disclosing ADHD in the workplace, the various limitations associated with it, and the accommodations you can request. JAN Consultant Melanie Whetzel will share real-life accommodation situations and solutions.
