I need to know if there's any ADA or other federal case law regarding
reasonable accommodations which addresses the needs of cognitively or
psychiatrically impaired individuals who may be impaired from requesting a
reasonable accommodation due to the nature of their disability? In other
words, if the requirement for reasonable accommodation is that the PWD must
initiate the request, what happens when the disability prevents the PWD from
being able to do so?

What happens when they don't see themselves as disabled, even when by any
objective standard, they clearly are?

Don't the above situations leave these individuals unnecessarily vulnerable
under the law if no other provisions are in place.

I know some state statutes address these issues, but what about Federal?
