Disability Management Workshops
Disability Management: Navigating the Process
Speaker: Mary Kelly, M.S., C.R.C., CLMS, Be Well at Work Disability Management
This presentation provides an overview of the disability management process from the employee's point of view. This course covers the resources on campus to be utilized when it becomes evident that some assistance is needed. Whether a student employee, Part-time or Full-time, Postdoc, Faculty, or Staff, we will discuss how to access disability-related resources and the requirements of the process. This is a one-hour presentation over the lunch hour with an additional period provided for questions and answers. This is open to all and those needing accommodations are strongly encouraged to email the presenter with requests in advance of the presentation.
Disability Management: Understanding the Process **For Managers and Supervisors Only**
Speaker: Mary Kelly, M.S., C.R.C., CLMS, Be Well at Work Disability Management
This virtual workshop provides an Interactive, as well as informative look into the process of Disability Management. During our workshop we will use Scenario-based instruction to teach and reinforce subjects such as the Interactive Process; Essential Job Functions; Reading and analyzing Work Status notes; Transition back to work and Effectiveness of Accommodation(s) and documentation. We will refer to foundational concepts framed by University policy related to disability; State and Federal laws and leverage the ‘Stay at Work’ and ‘Return to Work’ program models, in order to practice developing plans which support the accommodation needs of our employees with disabilities. This is part one of a two-part workshop, and the successful completion of a follow-up assignment is required. Please bring your Burning Questions and a willingness to engage with your peer learners during the workshop. We look forward to meeting you!
