	Michigan Court of Appeals Clarifies Written Notice Requirement For Disability Accommodation - Law Firm Kupelian Ormond ...
		Bageris subsequently sued the Township, claiming that he was dyslexic, that he requested a “reader” for the written portion of the exam, that the Township failed to provide him with a reader, and therefore the Township failed to provide him with a reasonable accommodation for his disability under the PWDCRA.
		The Township disputed Bageris’ claim arguing, among other things, that Bageris never told the Township that the reason he needed a reader was because he was dyslexic and thus it had no obligation to provide him with the requested accommodation.
		On appeal, the Court of Appeals reviewed the issue of whether Bageris’ notice to the Township that he needed a reader for the firefighter/paramedic test was sufficient to trigger the Township’s duty to accommodate Bageris.
