Risk Management - Interactive Processes
OVERVIEW
Often referred to as "reasonable accommodation" in popular culture, the District's interactive process is a timely and good-faith process by which we engage with any employee or applicant who has a medical limitation (physical or psychological) which may interfere with their ability to perform one or more essential functions of a position.
