DPBS Disability Awareness Training for Managers

Reasonable Accommodation and the Interactive Process

Presented by Judy Rosen - UCSF Director of Disability and Leave Administration

When an employee discloses a disability or requests an accommodation, faculty in supervisory roles are suddenly navigating legal requirements, privacy boundaries, and sensitive conversations, often without a clear roadmap. In this session, Judy Rosen will clarify what you are responsible for when disability is disclosed (with or without an accommodation request), how to respond if you suspect a disability is impacting performance, and what you can and cannot share with others. She will also demystify how Disability Management Services, Labor & Employee Relations, HR, and leave (FMLA) fit together, and offer concrete language and strategies for when an ideal accommodation isn’t feasible. Please consider attending if you’d like to feel more confident, legally grounded, and humane in how you support disabled employees and represented staff.

This event is open only to managers and supervisors in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Registration is required. Please register to attend at psychiatry.ucsf.edu/training.
