The ADA created a comprehensive mandate for both private and public entities to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities, which includes ensuring physical access to facilities and services for people with disabilities.

Question 6

A person who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities is defined as _____________ by the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Accepted Answer

The correct term defined by the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act is "a person with disabilities". This term recognizes that an individual may have different abilities and needs due to their impairment but it does not define them solely by their disability.

"A person with unreasonable needs" and "a person with reasonable needs" are not used to categorize individuals with disabilities under these Acts. "A person with employment issues" is too broad and does not accurately reflect the definition of an individual with a disability.
