This answer respects the job seeker’s right to privacy and self-determination, as well as the legal requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)1. The ADA prohibits employers from asking about a person’s disability before making a job offer, unless it is related to an essential job function or a reasonable accommodation2. The job seeker has the choice to disclose or not disclose her disability, and the employment support professional should honor that choice and obtain her consent before sharing any information with the employer34. The other answers are not appropriate because they either violate the job seeker’s rights, damage the relationship with the employer, or provide unnecessary information that could lead to discrimination or stigma. References:
