Federal Audio Conferences

How does an
Audio Conference work?

Audio Conference registrants will receive an e-mail a few days before the event with complete instructions on how to participate. You'll be given a unique Event I.D. and PIN that entitles you to a single phone-line connection to access the audio portion of the event. The instructions also will include steps to retrieve the speaker's hand-outs.

Train your entire team
for one low rate!

LRP's Audio Conferences are the perfect way to train both new and seasoned staff. All you need is a conference room with a speakerphone and invite as many others as you'd like.

Tuesday, July 17, 2012 • 12 – 1:30 p.m. ET:
Hidden Disabilities:
Accommodating Employees in the Federal Workplace
Presented by Kendra Duckworth, Disability Program Manager, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

“Invisible” doesn’t mean you can just look the other way.

Diabetes, fibromyalgia and asthma might not have obvious symptoms, but they — and other “invisible” conditions — are still disabilities, and if your agency doesn’t address them properly you face potential EEO complaints.

Here’s your only chance to hear firsthand guidance from the EEOC’s Kendra Duckworth, a federal practitioner with 20 years experience providing accommodation solutions, specifically for employees with hidden disabilities.

Ms. Duckworth will fill the information “black hole” created by the ADA Amendments Act’s broadened definition of disability by explaining how far protections now extend and how the changes impact your agency’s response. With her expert guidance you will:

Become familiar with hidden disabilities common in the workplace,
such as epilepsy and depression
Be able to generate ideas about how to address and accommodate
whatever hidden disabilities employees present
Implement effective accommodation procedures, such as modifying
methods for carrying out a job and obtaining equipment that addresses a specific limitation
Understand when and what medical documentation can be requested
in connection with a non-obvious disability
Move your agency toward reaching diversity and inclusion goals by
attracting and keeping qualified employees with disabilities through
successful accommodation

This one-time event won’t be repeated or recorded. July 17 is your only chance to hear Ms. Duckworth’s guidance and to get her answers to your questions during Q&A breaks!
