Hello and welcome to JustAnswer. My name is ***** ***** I'm a licensed attorney with over a decade of litigation experience in state and federal court. Please note this site is for general information for educational purposes only and my responses do not constitute legal advice, nor do your questions or my responses establish an attorney-client relationship or are subject to attorney-client privilege.
Also, I do not make the law and I have no control over how the law is applied in your jurisdiction. Sometimes the law is not always fair. I pride myself on being open, honest and truthful—even if that means providing you with an answer that you may not necessarily want to hear.
I will try to do my best to answer your question. While we are working together, you might experience a wait time. This is because I am working with more than one customer at the same time. Even if it takes a little while, I promise I will respond when I am able to. Thank you for your patience.

I am sorry to hear about what happened to you. Under the ADA, there is no requirement that you submit a written request for a reasonable accommodation. However, it is strongly recommended that you do put this in writing. The first step is to see if your HR department has an ADA request form for you to fill out. If they do not (and they may not) then I would send an email to someone in HR and let them know the accommodations you are requesting.
Does this help answer your question?

You can certainly have your doctor write a note in order to substantiate your request.
