Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ADA requires an employer to make reasonable accommodations for an individual with a disability if the disability substantially limits a major life activity, such as walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, or learning. It is not necessary that the disability limits the person's ability to work, nor that it is included in the full list of disabilities covered under the ADA. However, if the disability does not substantially limit a major life activity, then the employer is not required to make accommodations.
