OK, check out the EEOC's policy guidance for people w/psychiatric disabilities. Try to address:
http://www.bazelon.org/eeocguid.html
That has some basic info, but has legal backing to assist. Or, look at the article by lawyer Stanley j. Cohn at:http://www.abanet.org/genpractice/compleat/w96cohn.html
Or Department of Justice 28 CFR part 35 Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disabilty in State and Local Government Services. This is at:
http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/reg2.html (63 pages).
Or The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 at:
http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/statute.html (58 pages). You may, of course, check out the EEOC web site at EEOC.gov. Look for the Mangement Directive EEO MD 110. This applies to Federal agencies. Their official release on ADA and psych. is at: http://www/eeoc.gov/docs/psych.pdf. (80 pages).That should get you started. You will have to discern what,if any, applies to you in your specific situation.Ta Ta,
