Advice please…
I need to respond to a state licensing and regulatory board regarding a complaint that was filed against myself and my professional license. In order to respond and defend myself, I will need to disclose a disability. It is essential that I disclose the disability in my response, as the complaint is based on a job-related hearing (under oath) during which I began to experience side effects of the disability that negatively affected my performance and ability.
Based on this "event", my at-will employment was terminated. I have since filed an EEOC-Americans with Disabilities claim, as my former employer was properly notified of the disability, and I was denied a reasonable accommodation request. That lack of accommodation contributed to experiencing the disability side affects, which then affected my performance during the event that the complaint is now based on.
My challenge is how to respond to the complaint, requesting confidentiality of my disability (in case of an open records request), how to word it so it doesn't sound like gobblygook, not only to protect my privacy regarding personal health information, but also so my former employer isn't given a heads-up that an EEOC investigation may be looming down the road.
Thanks in advance.
