Topic: Disclosing Disabilities \u2013 When and If To Disclose<\/p>\n

Join us Thursday, April 22, from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. at the Winters
\nBuilding, 701 W. 51st Street, Room 125 C,E,W for this ADA Round Table Event.<\/p>\n

The Texas Governor\u2019s Committee on People with Disabilities, along with
\npartners from the City of Austin and other state agencies, would like to
\ninvite you to what we call \u201cADA Roundtables\u201d. Each bi-monthly event will
\nconsist of two 45 minute talks separated by a 30 minutes network and
\nrefreshment break. Topics will be related to a wide range of disability
\nissues in Texas. Invitees include ADA Coordinators of city, county, state
\ngovernment, others who work with people with disabilities, and the general
\npublic. Please distribute this announcement widely.<\/p>\n

This session, Disclosing Disabilities \u2013 When and If To Disclose, will focus
\non those factors to consider when making the determination to disclose a
\ndisability to a potential employer. Some people choose to disclose their
\ndisability because they know they will need accommodations at the interview,
\nor to train for the job. Others may choose not to disclose disability for
\nfear an interview may never be offered, or their disability will become the
\nfocus of the interview instead of their \u201cabilities\u201d. In the end, the
\ndecision is a personal one. There are a number of key factors to consider
\nwhen making the determination of \u201cwhen\u201d or \u201cif\u201d to disclose. This session
\nwill address those factors to consider when making the determination
\n\u201cwhen\u201d or \u201cif\u201d to disclose.<\/p>\n
