Serving customers across the United States and around the world for more than 35 years, the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) is the leading source of free, expert, and confidential guidance on job accommodations and disability employment issues.
What is JAN?
JAN provides free one-on-one practical guidance and technical assistance on job accommodation solutions, Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related legislation, and self-employment and entrepreneurship options for people with disabilities.
JAN provides individualized consultation to assist:
- Employers and their representatives seeking guidance on practical ways to engage in the interactive process, provide job accommodation solutions, and comply with Title I of the ADA;
- Individuals with medical conditions and disabilities seeking information about job accommodation solutions, employment rights under the ADA, and self-employment and entrepreneurship opportunities; and

Learn About Job Accommodations
If you are looking for information on job accommodations, the Americans with Disabilities Act or Rehabilitation Act, or topics related to disability employment, JAN provides A to Z listings by disability, topic, and limitation.
Also see JAN’s Searchable Online Accommodation Resource (SOAR) system, which is designed to let users explore various accommodation options for people with disabilities in work and educational settings. If you don’t find answers to your questions, you may contact JAN directly for help.
Tools and Technologies
Even if you choose not to request accommodations, JAN suggests apps, technologies, tools, and strategies that can increase your productivity, reduce stress, or otherwise help you perform at work (or at school). Search the A to Z listings for a disability, impairment or condition, and go to the section titled Ideas for Accommodations by limitation.
