I'm leaving a link to a website called Job Accommodation Network. It is a free consulting service that provides information about job accommodations, the ADA, and the employability of people with disabilities.

I called there earlier this week to get some advice about how to handle an interview I had Tuesday (which went very well, BTW). Issues like "What to disclose." "What not to disclose." "How to handle sticky questions." Et cetera). I spoke with a woman named Anne who was very helpful.

Here's their link: http://www.jan.wvu.edu/
Here's their phone number: 1-800-526-7234
