ADA request for accommodation process

The following procedures will be used to process requests for reasonable ADA accommodations as provided for in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

1. If you need a workplace accommodation, first, speak with your immediate supervisor regarding your needs.

   »	If you and your supervisor agree on appropriate modification(s), you do not continue with this process.

2. If you and your supervisor disagree, or the supervisor is unable to provide the requested accommodation, work with your supervisor to complete the following forms:
   • ADA Request for Reasonable Accommodation Form
     This form will help the district’s ADA Committee to assess your specific disability or impairment and decide on a reason accommodation.
   • ADA Health Care Provider Form (see last page of the ADA Request for Reasonable Accommodation Form)
     Medical documentation must be from an appropriate health care provider and should clearly:
     1. Identify the qualifying medical diagnosis;
     2. Specify the impact of the diagnosed condition to the individual’s major life functions, including working and learning.
     3. Explain how the impairment or disability restricts or limits work performance or learning.

3. Submit the completed forms to the EEO Office. Once your completed forms are received, you will be contacted by EEO Staff.

4. Within 30 working days of receiving your ADA request form and supporting medical documentation, your request will be reviewed by the ADA Committee. You and your supervisor will be notified of the ADA Committee’s determination. The district’s ADA Committee meets monthly throughout the school year.

5. Persons wishing to appeal an ADA Committee determination may do so by following the district’s Citizen’s Complaint Process. Citizen’s Complaint Forms are available on the district’s Web site or from the EEO Office.

6. All ADA accommodation equipment and devices, including assistive technology & technological enhancements, are the property of the Anchorage School District and must be returned by the employee to the EEO Office upon leaving employment with the district.
