there is a part of our company that has an Americans with Disability Act team, they are the disability accommodations department. that's all they do is make and enforce disability accommodations. the thing is i'm not sure if you have to tell your boss. my boss already knew so it was no biggy. but i think i remember her saying that all i had to say was that i have a disability and here's what i need...but our system...man it took MONTHS since i started the paper work before it finally went through the system-so be prepared for a lot of paperwork and minor detailed things. there is paperwork that you will need to get signed by your pdoc or other but your boss will have no access to this.
but they were great and really supportive!i think you could call your HR department and see if there is an Accommodations for people with disabilities department.
