What is a disability accommodation letter?

A formal request asking your employer, school, or organization to provide reasonable accommodations for a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or similar laws.

What are examples of reasonable accommodations?

Flexible work schedule, remote work options, ergonomic equipment, modified job duties, extra time on exams, accessible parking, assistive technology, or a quieter workspace. The accommodation must be related to your disability.

Do I need to disclose my specific diagnosis?

You need to describe how your condition limits your ability to perform specific tasks, but you are not required to share your exact diagnosis. Providing a doctor's note confirming the need for accommodation is usually sufficient.

Can my employer deny a disability accommodation request?

Employers can deny requests only if they cause 'undue hardship' — significant difficulty or expense. They must engage in an interactive process to find alternative accommodations. Outright denial without discussion may violate the ADA.

Should I include a doctor's note with my accommodation letter?

Yes, a medical professional's letter supporting your need for accommodation strengthens your request significantly. It should describe functional limitations without necessarily disclosing the full diagnosis.
