- cestith 10y agoI'm not a lawyer, and what is an appropriate accommodation certainly leaves room for interpretation. My understanding is that yes, either diagnosis qualifies under the ADA. How much weight that carries for any specific accommodation I have no idea. My employer values offices. Most aren't very big, but most of the company works in offices. Also, to favor the team dynamic and lower contention on conference rooms, offices for a team surround a conference room for that team in a "pod" architecture. You enter each team's office suite from a hallway into the conference room, and then go to the individual offices from there. You only need to book a conference room elsewhere in the building if there are enough guests from outside the team to overflow your own pod room. It's helped a great deal over having offices right off the hallway for purposes of avoiding distraction and also for getting the team meeting and hack session space with no waiting.
