Youth, Disclosure, and the Workplace Why, When, What, and How – Prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Disability Employment Policy, this article discusses the “Why,” “When.” and “How,” of disclosing your disability in the workplace.  Every jobseeker with a disability is faced with the same decision: “Should I or shouldn’t I disclose my disability?” This decision may be framed differently depending upon whether you have a visible disability or a non-visible disability. Ultimately, the decision of whether to disclose is entirely up to the individual.
