Reasonable accommodation of psychiatric disability under the ADA

Abstract

Looks at the definition of psychiatric disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the principle of reasonable accommodation. Outlines selected types of reasonable accommodation in turn. Reviews actual reported litigated cases for a fuller understanding. Concludes that this is a very fertile area for litigation and employers need to make sure that all possibilities are explored in order to avoid such claims.
