According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 50% of Americans have some form of chronic medical condition. Often, these conditions are not readily apparent, and a lack of awareness can lead to misunderstandings in the workplace.
A training video available from the Federal Computer/Electronic Accommodations Program (CAP) provides guidance on interacting with individuals who have non-obvious disabilities. CAP (http://www.cap.mil/) provides assistive technology and services free of charge to DoD and civil service customers with hearing, visual, dexterity, cognitive, and communication impairments to make their work environments more accessible.
