ADA in the Workplace with Attorney William D. Goren

Join us for a conversation with William Goren, J.D., LL.M., LLC., one of the country's foremost authorities on the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For more than 20 years, he has been advising on ADA compliance as both an attorney and professor and brings a deep, personal understanding of what it means to have a disability, equipping him with exceptional insight on how the ADA actually works. He is deaf with a congenital bilateral hearing loss of 65–90+ decibels, but functions entirely in the hearing world thanks to hearing aids and lip reading. Mr. Goren is the author of Understanding the Americans with Disabilities Act, Fourth Edition and blogs on the ADA.

We'll talk about the ADA in regard to employer practices, disclosure of disability to employer, interactive process, pre-employment disclosure and medical inquiry, accommodations, addictions, and much, much more.
