The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of disabilities. You can read more about your rights here: https://www.eeoc.gov/facts/ada18.html
Employers are required to reasonably accommodate individuals with disabilities. A request for an accommodation does not have to include any special words, such as “reasonable accommodation,” “disability,” or “Rehabilitation Act.” A request is any communication in which an individual asks or states that he/she needs EEOC to provide or to change something because of a medical condition.
A family member, health professional, or other representative may request an accommodation on behalf of an EEOC employee or applicant. For example, a doctor’s note outlining medical restrictions for an employee constitutes a request for reasonable accommodation. You can read more about different accommodations here: https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/internal/reasonable_accommodation.cfm
Creative Spirit’s goal is to provide a wide variety of jobs over the next several years to meet a wide variety of abilities and skills.
Yes. Creative Spirit provides candidates with an opportunity to post resumes and search for jobs. Creative Spirit encourages all candidates to work with their job coaches throughout and after the job-seeking process. Should you find a job through Creative Spirit, you are more than welcome to keep your current coach.
Creative Spirit encourages candidates and employees to do what is most comfortable. Disclosing your disability to your employer is a personal choice. The advantage to disclosing a disability is that it signals to an employer that they may need to facilitate specific accommodations. However, you are not required to disclose your disability.
This will depend on the specific employer. Creative Spirit encourages employers to hire candidates with a variety of backgrounds and abilities. That said, it is likely that you will be working along other employees who do not have disabilities.
As Creative Spirit evolves, we will be hosting panel discussions, networking events and more. As events are scheduled, we will invite registered Creative Spirit users to participate.
