Question 52
Which of the following is a reasonable accommodation to support an employee with a disability in the workplace?
Correct Answer: B
A reasonable accommodation is any change to the job, the way the job is done, or the work environment that allows a qualified person with a disability to perform the essential functions of that job and enjoy equal employment opportunities1. Reasonable accommodations are required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) unless they create an undue hardship or a direct threat2. Among the four options, only B is a reasonable accommodation that does not alter the essential functions of the job or impose an undue burden on the employer. Providing longer time to complete mandatory training is a way of adjusting the methods or presentation of the trainingmaterials to accommodate the employee's disability3. Option A is not a reasonable accommodation because transportation to and from the workplace is not related to the job itself, but rather to the living conditions or mobility of the employee4. Option C is not a reasonable accommodation because assistance from another employee to complete essential functions implies that the employee cannot perform the job on their own, which would make them unqualified for the position5. Option D is not a reasonable accommodation because omitting typing for a data entry position would eliminate an essential function of the job, which would fundamentally alter the nature of the position6.

Question 54
Matt is a 32-year-old-male who experienced a traumatic brain injury while serving in the military. His employment support professional from the Veterans' Administration (VA) is assisting him in a self-employment venture. Of the following, who is the LEAST important team member to support his business venture?
Correct Answer: C
According to the CESP handbook, one of the core competencies of an employment support professional is to facilitate self-employment and customized employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities1. Self-employment is a form of integrated employment that allows individuals to create their own businesses based on their strengths, preferences, and interests2. Customized employment is a process of individualizing the employment relationship between a job seeker and an employer based on the needs of both3. To facilitate self-employment and customized employment, an employment support professional may need to collaborate with various team members, such as small business development consultants, family members or friends, and other community partners4. However, a representative of the individual's medical team may not be the most important team member to support his businessventure, as the medical team's role is more focused on the individual's health and rehabilitation needs, rather than his vocational goals and aspirations. While the medical team may provide some input on the individual's abilities and limitations, they may not have the expertise or the authority to assist with the business and marketing plan, the coordination of resources and supports, or the networking, bookkeeping, and transportation aspects of the self-employment venture. Therefore, a representative of the individual's medical team is the least important team member to support his business venture, compared to the other options.
