For youth with disabilities, requesting workplace accommodations can be a difficult process. This webpage offers some resources for disabled youth navigating the workforce. These include self-advocacy trainings, possible ADA-compliant disability accommodations, and fact sheets you can show your employer.

• The Job Education Network has an A-to-Z list of disabilities and accommodations. You can sort by disability, limitation, work-related function, topic, and accommodation for ADA-compliant accommodations and resources.
• ADA National Network has a “Reasonable Accommodations in the Workplace” factsheet and a printer-friendly version.
• “The 411 on Disability Disclosure: A workbook for youth with disabilities” is a longer (100 pages) workbook that is a great tool for learning more about disclosing your disability at work.
• The Learning Disabilities Association of America has an article on self-advocacy in the workplace.
• beforeage18.com has a training series on improving self-advocacy skills.

This video, created by CLS Youth Justice Project Fellow Zaina Fairey, goes into more detail about requesting workplace accommodations.
