Who is protected by the ADA?

The ADA protects individuals with disabilities, which are defined as physical or mental impairments that substantially limit one or more major life activities. Major life activities include activities such as walking, talking, eating, sleeping, and working.

What types of discrimination are prohibited by the ADA?

The ADA prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including:

Employment: Employers cannot discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities in hiring, firing, promotions, job training, and compensation.
Education: Public elementary and secondary schools, as well as colleges and universities, cannot discriminate against students with disabilities in admissions, academic programs, and extracurricular activities.
Transportation: Public transportation providers cannot discriminate against individuals with disabilities in the provision of transportation services.
Government services: State and local governments cannot discriminate against individuals with disabilities in the provision of government services.
Commercial facilities: All businesses and other commercial facilities that are open to the public must be accessible to individuals with disabilities.

What are reasonable accommodations?

Under the ADA, employers and other entities must provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities, unless doing so would cause an undue hardship. Reasonable accommodations can include things like modifying work schedules, providing assistive devices, and making changes to the physical work environment.

Examples of reasonable accommodations:

Employment: Providing a ramp for an employee with a mobility disability, providing a sign language interpreter for an employee who is deaf, or providing a computer with speech-to-text software for an employee with a visual disability.
Education: Providing a student with a tutor, providing a student with a note-taker, or providing a student with a quiet room to take tests.

How to file a complaint under the ADA

If you believe that you have been discriminated against under the ADA, you can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or with the Department of Justice. You can also file a lawsuit in federal court.

If you have any questions about the ADA or your rights under the ADA, you should consult with an attorney."
