Various disability legislation exists to ensure employees with disabilities (EWD) have equal access to perform core job functions, from the hiring process to the use of all internal systems and communication within an enterprise, which include requests for accommodation, training and Helpdesk support. While there have been great advances in Assistive Technology (AT) for persons with disabilities providing greater access to IT systems and electronic documents, providing seamless support to the employee with a disability to ensure equal access, can be daunting for enterprises. Ensuring equal access requires extensive planning, support, and continual monitoring. Based on its decades-long experience working in enterprise environments with EWD, management and Helpdesk support, iYellow Access is presenting a series of webinars to help enterprises understand the expertise and processes needed to fully support their employees with disabilities.

In this webinar, iYellow Access' Director of Training, Jeff Ermold and Harris Rosensweig, Director of Accessibility will address best practices in supporting employees with existing disabilities and those who obtain disabilities while on the job who need or use AT.

The following topics will be discussed:

This webinar will focus exclusively on the AT assessment and its importance in the accommodation process. A properly performed AT assessment is one of the cornerstones of the accommodation process and sets the stage for the employee to receive appropriate and timely accommodations. On the other hand, an under-resourced or checklist approach to AT assessment can lead to poor accommodation recommendations, over expenditure on equipment and services and demoralized employees. The webinar will draw on TCS Access’ decades of experience providing AT assessments for persons with disabilities in the enterprise and its findings. The webinar will focus on the following six areas:

We encourage participants to share their experiences regarding AT assessments and to see how their experience compares to iYellow Access.

Everyday work has shifted to a remote setting and employees with disabilities face unique challenges in receiving training, participating in meetings, communicating with colleagues and collaborating on team projects. This session will provide best practices and real-world examples of how to maximize equal access to employees with disabilities who are now working remotely. This webinar is ideal for those who deliver reasonable accommodations or assistive technology services to employees with disabilities, as well as assistive technology users.

Webinar highlights include:

The webinar will focus on how different companies should be developing autism and Neurodiversity At Work programs as a part of their DEIA programming.and how to set it up in a legal and effective way under the ADA and Section 503. Craig Leen will lead a panel of employers and Autistic leaders to discuss how Neurodiversity is an important part of diversity inclusion.
