Notes

The names of individuals and organizations featured in this report have been changed. My purpose in conducting the study was to document and disseminate actual experiences with accommodations for workers with psychiatric disabilities. This goal has been achieved without revealing the personal identities of those interviewed.

Unless otherwise noted, all of the direct quotes are taken from transcripts of audiotaped interviews.

The description of employment practices in this report does not imply that they are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

This report is intended to serve as a resource guide to those implementing the ADA. Nothing written here shall be construed to represent legal advice. Individuals with disabilities or employers in need of legal opinions should consult with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or an attorney.
