Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beth will have to show that COC refused to make reasonable accommodation for her disability, which could include modifying the doors to make them more accessible. The fact that COC replaced her with someone without a disability suggests that it was not a performance issue but rather a failure to accommodate her disability. Whether or not Dian is unqualified is not relevant to this claim. Intentional discrimination may be a separate claim but is not necessary for a claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
