Hey ya'll, Glad I caught the event this year :-)

Is anyone tracking workplace accommodations for American employees working with Bipolar Disorder? What are most requested? How often are they approved/denied? What are the best ways to substantiate? Are there case studies or example scripts? Are there agencies who do this work on our behalf?

I work in tech and have had a difficult time getting the accommodation that I feel would be most necessary: a job coach. I'm stable, medicated, and in therapy. I've lived with the condition for 20 years in May; half of which I've spent in the workforce. But rarely, have I secured the accommodations my doctor recommended.

Thank you!
