Deciding when, how, and if to disclose a disability varies to each individual. Career Development is here to help!

Students With Disabilities
Quick Tips
- Be aware of the laws of the cities, states and countries in which you’re applying. Some interview questions and workplace behaviors are illegal. For state and federal policies related to accommodations for people on the job, see Ask JAN.
- Call a company’s Human Resources office from an anonymous number to discuss hypotheticals that may apply to you to get a sense where the company stands. It won’t be connected to your application and you’ll be able to decide if it is somewhere you want to apply to, interview at, or work for.
