• A frank initial interview with the supervisor & employee to discuss the disability as it relates to job performance;

• An in-depth, clear explanation by the supervisor of the job duties, responsibilities & expectations;

• Identification of potential problem areas & strategies to address them;

• Being able to openly discuss problems encountered without these appearing in their personnel files or performance evaluations;

• Time set aside to discuss interpersonal skills, work needs, & career goals
