Dear Human Resources:

I am writing to request a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et seq.) and applicable your state disability law. This letter is intended to initiate the interactive process.

Functional limitation:

Requested accommodation:

  [SPECIFIC ACCOMMODATION REQUESTED]

I believe this accommodation will allow me to perform the essential functions of my position ([YOUR POSITION / JOB TITLE]) without imposing an undue hardship on the company. I am happy to discuss alternative accommodations and to provide reasonable supporting documentation from my healthcare provider if you request it.

Please respond in writing within 14 days to begin the interactive process. If a meeting would be helpful, I am available at your convenience.

I expect this request and the surrounding interactive process to be kept confidential and free from retaliation, as required by law.

Sincerely,



[YOUR FULL NAME]
