Human Resources and the Disability Services Office work together with individuals with disabilities who are employees or applicants for employment to arrange changes in the work environment or procedures which enable an individual with disabilities to experience equal employment opportunities.

RIT does not provide the following services, thus individuals need to make separate arrangements for:

• Mobility assistance or training
• Personal care services
• Personal adaptive equipment such as hearing aids, eye glasses and wheelchairs

Request form and job description
To request accommodations in the workplace due to a disability, please speak to your manager or Kathleen Martin, Associate Director in Human Resources. You will be asked to submit a completed “Request Form for Employee Disability-Related Accommodations,” a copy of your current job description and documentation of your disability. Please see the services process page for more information.

Access the “Request Form for Employee Disability-Related Accommodations” on the Human Resources web site in the employment section of the forms page.

Documentation
The documentation verifying the disability should be a recent letter on letterhead stationery from a qualified professional such as a physician, psychiatrist, neurologist, or psychologist who has made the diagnosis of your impairment or condition and/or you are currently seeing for treatment of said condition. The documentation should include the following information:

• Diagnosis of disability
• Description of current level of functioning
• Suggestions for accommodation(s)
