March 9 Presenter: Rick Diamond, Michigan Rehabilitation Services (Holland Office)

Do any of these questions relate to you or your family?

• As a K-12 student with ADHD, is there anything special I should be considering as I plan for continuing my education or entering the workforce after graduation?


• Are there any resources available to help me with that transition?


• How can I identify the best career options for me, considering my interests and abilities, the current and future job markets, and - of course - the impact that ADHD has on me?


• Does ADHD qualify as a "disability" under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?


• What types of reasonable accommodations have employers and employees used in the past to effectively address the impact of ADHD on a person's job performance?


• How can I most effectively discuss my ADHD with my current employer, or a prospective employer?


• What the heck is Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS)?


• What the heck is the Disability Network of the Lakeshore (DNL)?

Rick Diamond from Disability Network of the Lakeshore and the MRS Holland office will be on hand at our March 9 meeting to address these questions and more with our group.

Do you have a specific question that would be appropriate for Rick? Post it here and we'll make sure he has the chance to review it prior to our meeting.
