When requesting accommodation, you’ll be disclosing your disability to someone in the organization and providing additional information as needed. You need to ask yourself two main questions: 

To whom should you disclose to receive accommodation?

• This depends on the company. You’ll need to figure out who within the organization is in a position to assist you with your accommodation request. For example, this could be HR staff, or your manager/supervisor.

How much information do you provide?

• You are obliged to give sufficient information in regards to your disability in order to support your request for accommodation and in order for your employer to properly and promptly fulfill the duty to accommodate. Otherwise, your request for accommodation could be rejected for lacking sufficient information.

Your Office of Experiential Learning/Education can also be a resource in helping you disclose the necessary information.
