1.3.1.2 Reasonable Accommodations for Participants
W-2 agencies must:
Ensure participants have the necessary services and reasonable accommodations to successfully engage in assigned W-2 activities; and
Work with employers to put needed accommodations into place for participants transitioning to unsubsidized employment.
The W-2 agency is responsible for:
Identifying the need for the accommodation;
Identifying the accommodation itself; and
Ensuring the accommodation is provided at all assigned activities such as a basic education lab or a work experience site.
The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) is an online resource found at askjan.org that provides guidance on workplace accommodations and disability employment issues. Case managers may find JAN helpful when identifying and arranging accommodations for a participant.
JAN offers several ways to obtain confidential, personalized assistance, including by:
Phone;
Email; and
The Searchable Online Accommodation Resource (SOAR).
The FEP must work with the participant and their medical providers to identify any necessary accommodations.
