Accommodations in school vs the work force....

What do these people do once they get out of high school and/or college and they are in the workforce and no longer have all these "special accommodations" to assist them in their productivity?
Do their jobs give them extended time to completely projects and tasks, preferential seating in their office, etc.?

Assuming you're speaking about someone with an actual documented disability, the employer is required to make reasonable accommodations as well.

There are some laws that offer protections to people in the workforce, however, they vary by state.

I didnt consider that. I assume he wouldn't put special accommodations in parentheses if he simply meant disabled or handicapped.

They sign up for disability and collect that gubmint check.

They work at registers with pictures on them instead of words and numbers .

He's probably talking about the people who have "ADD" and couldn't pass college without Adderall and extra time for all of their tests/assignments.

Special ed teacher here. Many of them do not get jobs that involve Reading and/or Math.
Other who need extended time, need it because they are taking a variety of classes. They have no trouble specializing in doing 1 task.

I think the PC term here is entitlement programs.

A lot of the people I knew in college only used that stuff because they could. Everyone I knew that had been "diagnosed" with add or anything like that would get the extra time and special testing center because why not take advantage of that just in case you needed it.

I have trouble with abstract things. That's where my mind starts going crazy. Thankfully, all of my jobs have involved concrete things, and my mind can't wander when I'm holding something

I avoided it because i was concerned i would get to a point where thats the only way I could function. I was already not that good at focusing to begin with, so didn't want to make it worse.
I work around that now by automating as much of a new assignment at work as much as possible. I've become pretty good at being excel and access because of that

Why would you put the name of a disorder in parentheses?

Because it's one of the most over diagnosed disorders of our generation?

I hire around 6 to 8 special needs people each year. I give them jobs that some people would say are below them. They seem to enjoy it and love getting out of the home for a few hours. They have a group bring them to work, pick them up, their supervisor comes around to make sure they are ok, and live in a group home setting.
As far as handicap restrooms and work place accommodations our buildings are built for retail and have these accommodations.
As far as lazy SJW I can weed those people out in an interview setting. Most come in with attitudes, some dress in cut off shorts with sandals, and clueless about the hardware business.

I have noticed a lot of the Krogers in my area hiring young people that seem to have developmental delays as grocery baggers/cart collectors. The store doesn't make a big deal about it, which is nice because it doesn't seem like they are doing it for the head pats. You can just tell from talking to them and the way they interact with the cashiers.
Seems to work out well.

I see a ton of these individuals in the course of my practice. I've noticed quite a bit of adults in their 30's and 40's still taking adderall.
I have also noticed that these adults still taking ADD meds are also being treated for anxiety disorder and are taking medications for this as well.
One of the side effects of Adderall is anxiety, which would explain things a bit. I wonder what the side effects of anti anxiety meds will be going forward and what meds will be developed to combat these conditions?
We might, as a society, be better off adjusting how we deal with ADD issues rather than just throwing meds at it. Oh well.........
