Legal Question in Disability Law in Ohio
Adult Dyslexia
I am a 62 year old adult working
with undiagnosed dyslexia. I claim
dyslexia from screening responses
that strongly suggest. In previous
positions I have been able to work
around the reading and numbers
problems. In my current position I
am falling behind in areas requiring
number accuracy. I want to ask for
reasonable accommodation.
1. Do I need to provide professional
diagnosis?

Re: Adult Dyslexia
Like any other medical condition, yours requires evidence of an expert. You may want to ask a local EEOC representative about this if you don't feel secure about going to your HR representative.
