Job Accommodation Network's Approach to Reasonable Accommodations
Job Accommodation Network

Description: The Job Accommodation Network is a service of the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) of the U.S. Department of Labor. JAN's mission is to facilitate the employment and retention of workers with disabilities by providing employers, employment providers, people with disabilities, their family members and other interested parties with information on job accommodations, self-employment and small business opportunities and related subjects. JAN's work has greatly enhanced the job opportunities of people with disabilities by providing information on job accommodations since 1984. JAN consultants have obtained at least one Master's degree in their specialized fields, ranging from rehabilitation counseling to education and engineering. The development of the JAN system has been achieved through the collaborative efforts of the U.S. DOL Office of Disability Employment Policy, the International Center for Disability Information at West Virginia University, and private industry throughout North America. In this webcast, presenters Mandy Gamble and Tracie Saab discuss the process for identifying workplace accommodations.
