Re: Advice on work situation

Ginny,
Under ADA, employers with 15 or more employees must make reasonable accommodations. The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) is part of the federal Dept. of Labor. They have a set of fact sheets; and one for people with cognitive impairment, includes accommodations to need help the employee with concentration, maintaining stamina, etc. (and many others). You can call JAN at (800) 526-7234. They will work with you over the telephone. Or check www.dol.gov/odep/pubs/fact/jan.htm
I don't know if your employer can get out of legal action because you haven't been there a year, but I think JAN would know that, and also might negotiate a plan with your employer.
Good luck. - Carol
