Being Upfront About Learning Disabilities in Job

Employees with learning disabilities are often in Catch-22 situations. Should they disclose their learning disability and risk being stigmatized or not disclose and risk being let go for not meeting expectations or poor performance? Consider disclosing your disability before it impacts performance, be specific about your requests, and offer examples of your past successes. Your local Vocational Rehabiliation Department can also be a great resource if you are unsure about disclosing or not.
