Abstract

The article describes an experimental approach to increasing consumer participation in the Americans with Disabilities Act's Title I accommodation request process. Specifically, participants (N = 36) completed a structured interview to identify their needs for on-the-job accommodations, received detailed information about Title I provisions, and completed a social competence training program to assist them in requesting accommodations from their employers. Results indicated that the intervention was effective in increasing knowledge of Title I provisions and behavioral activity related to requesting and implementing accommodations.
