    Getting Accommodations at Work
Q:
"I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD. Am I entitled to special accommodations at work?" 
A:
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, you are entitled to accommodations on the job as long as you can document the diagnosis. Ask your physician or psychiatrist to write a letter attesting to the diagnosis. The letter must identify what accommodations you’re requesting, and explain why they’re necessary.
