But, just when you thought you had the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodation process figured out, the law evolved and new issues arose—such as mental health issues, including anxiety and stress ... from work; extended-leave requests; issues impacting transgender employees, such as gender dysphoria; and accommodating employee use of medical marijuana and other prescription drugs. This session will feature the latest legal updates and pragmatic advice, as well as compliance tools to replenish your toolbox, so that you can handle any complex ADA accommodation situation. You will recive:

• A full update on how courts and administrative agencies address disability accommodation under the ADA.
• Pragmatic solutions to addressing complex ADA accommodation situations in your workplace.
