   1. Response to Questions. Be sure to respond to each of the essay questions using single spacing and keeping within the word count range identified for each section.
   2. Appendix A—Work Accommodation Policy and Procedures. Complete the appendix of the response paper. Use the headings provided and single spacing for the paragraphs, with double spacing between each of the paragraphs. The completed policy and procedures should be approximately two pages in length.

      1. Download and save the WS3_3.4 Assignment Case Studies.
         1. Select two cases from the list of eight cases for completion of workplace accommodation plans.
         2. Click on the hyperlink for the selected case studies to review the job description (tasks, technology skills, knowledge, abilities, and so forth). If the case job title hyperlink does not work well for you, simply go to the O*Net site and look up the job number and job title.
