The following excerpt is from Jia Sheng v. M&TBank Corp., 33 A.D. Cases 424, 848 F.3d 78 (2nd Cir. 2017):

3 An employer engages in an interactive process by, for example, "meeting with the employee who requests an accommodation, requesting information about the condition and what limitations the employee has, asking the employee what he or she specifically wants, showing some sign of having considered the employee's request, and offering and discussing available alternatives when the request is too burdensome." LovejoyWilson v. NOCO Motor Fuel, Inc., 263 F.3d 208, 21819 (2d Cir. 2001) (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted).
