When determining effective accommodations, the person s individual abilities and limitations should be considered and problematic job tasks must be identified. Therefore, the person with the heart condition should be involved in the accommodation process. Not all people with heart conditions will need accommodations to perform their jobs and many others may need only a few accommodations. For those who need accommodation, the following pages provide basic information about common limitations, symptoms, useful questions to consider, and accommodation possibilities.
