How can I make this information work for me at my workplace?

I'm struggling with an accommodation issue myself at the moment.

The magic box turned this up:

Truth of the matter is the person with the disability should have been learning to make self accommodations all through high school. The fewer special accommodations one can request, the easier it will be to make the leap into the workforce.

One of my children has chosen not to medicate for her ADD, so she has had to learn to rely on her own self accommodations. The only special accommodation she has had to request is from one professor who wouldn't normally allow recording in his class. As she progressed through high school, the goal was to rely less and less on special accommodations even though her ADD hasn't much improved.

Thankfully, it is just ADD and not ADHD.

I'm surprised the school has not dealt with this before. And yes, there are two sides to this but she claims they did not make the accommodations she needed for her exams.

Well without knowing anymore of the story, one party is lying and I guess time will be the final judge.

"Emails provided to the News between Barr and Cole Crittenden, associate dean for academic affairs at Princeton’s Graduate School, show that Barr was given 72 hours to complete her retake exam. Crittenden noted that other Ph.D. students in the STEP program were given between eight and 36 hours to write a general exam and called Barr’s accommodation a “generous consideration.”"

And that's all I'm sayin'...

If you actually follow through with not eating and die, you will never accomplish your goal (unless it happens to be suicide).
