This workshop explores the important distinctions—and areas of overlap—between having a medical diagnosis and meeting the legal definition of disability. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of what constitutes a diagnosis, how disability is defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and when a diagnosis may rise to the level of a disability in employment and educational settings.

Using practical examples, the session will raise awareness of key considerations regarding documentation, accommodations, and the interactive process. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of how diagnosis and disability intersect in real-world contexts and how to approach accommodation-related conversations with greater clarity and confidence.

American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) captioning services will be provided. If you need additional accommodations to participate in this webinar, please email the ADA Coordinator at [email protected].
