Accommodating People with Disabilities

The Accommodating People with Disabilities online training program for faculty and supervisory staff members is part of the University's ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive and accessible learning and working environment, and is designed to assist you in performing your specific responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the UMD Disability and Accessibility Policy and Procedures. This program provides an overview of disability discrimination laws. Faculty and supervisory staff members are responsible for helping to facilitate reasonable accommodations for students and employees in a timely and effective manner. After completing this program, you will be able to navigate the process of accommodating qualified applicants and employees with disabilities. Using real case reviews, case studies of real-world situations, and role-playing, faculty and supervisory staff members will be better prepared to recognize protected individuals, respond to requests for accommodation, engage in the interactive process, and avoid common mistakes.

Learning Objectives​​​​

• Identify who is protected by disability laws and what qualifies as a current disability versus a past or perceived disability
• Define what it means to be a qualified individual living with a disability
• Define “reasonable accommodation” and identify the process required to provide reasonable accommodations
