CESP Workplace Accommodations & Job Retention 4

Question 1

Which of the following best describes 'fading' in supported employment?

Accepted Answer

Gradually reducing job coach presence as the employee becomes more independent

Answer

Fading is the planned, gradual reduction of job coach support as the supported employee gains skills and natural supports take over.

Question 2

An employer offers a supported employee a different position rather than the one they were originally hired for. Under the ADA, reassignment as an accommodation is:

Accepted Answer

A last-resort accommodation when no other reasonable option exists

Answer

Reassignment is considered a 'last resort' accommodation under the ADA — employers must first try to accommodate the employee in their current position.

Question 3

A supported employee discloses their disability to a coworker without the employer's knowledge. The employment specialist should:

Accepted Answer

Remind the employee of their right to privacy and the potential implications of voluntary disclosure

Answer

Employees have the right to disclose or not disclose their disability; the specialist should ensure the employee understands the possible benefits and risks of voluntary disclosure.

Question 4

Which of the following accommodation requests would most likely be considered unreasonable under the ADA?

Accepted Answer

A private office when all staff share cubicles and no private offices exist

Answer

Requiring an employer to create a new private office that does not exist and is not available elsewhere in the building would typically constitute undue hardship.

Question 5

Customized employment differs from traditional supported employment primarily because it:

Accepted Answer

Negotiates unique job duties tailored to the individual's strengths rather than filling a pre-existing position

Answer

Customized employment creates a job description based on the individual's skills and interests, negotiated directly with an employer, rather than fitting the person into an existing vacancy.
