Any one familiar with the Americans with Disabilities Act?

Specifically how it would relate to someone with a learning disability or ADD?

I understand that any advice is the opinion and the interpretation of the poster and it is not the "final word". I'm just trying to get a handle on my situation.

Thanks.

Most states have them. I think that the right answer is that it depends upon what the accomodations are for and whether it is a documented case.

or an educational advocate in your county/municipality.

consulting a legal advice line, or getting a free consult with an attorney who specializes in the ADA. I deal with it quite a bit in my job, but primarily as it relates to people with limitations caused by work injuries, not learning disabilities or ADD.

you may be barking up the wrong tree: These are the acts that relate to that:

Public Law 94-142

Section 504 of the Education of the Handicapped Act

Individuals with Disablities in Education Act of 1997

I'm being railroaded out of a job because it took me longer to learn than some others would. After I accepted the job, I finally got a diagnosis of Adult ADD and the meds have helped tremendously. I can now concentrate for hours. But, before the diagnosis, I made mistakes that they didn't like. All could be fixed, but the powers that be didn't want to be bothered. I disclosed my diagnosis but was given 30 days to leave. I guess they thought they were being kind? Last month I made one mistake during the two-week month end close. Too little too late for them.

I'm not sure if I should resign (as they're asking) and exit quietly or be fired. I don't know how either would affect my ability to draw unemployment and what, if any part, the ADA plays in this mess.

I don't like the job. I find it terribly monotonous, but I don't want to leave one job before I have another and I have a daughter in college and no savings. Right before the holidays too. This really sucks.

I'm normally a very private person and prefer to "suffer in silence". I'm not a martyr-type, I just don't make much public.

I've contacted HR here. In a company this large, there has to be SOMETHING I can do that will benefit the company and keep me employed.

I PMed you.
