The manager's concerns about the deaf applicant's ability to perform the job are based on ability stereotyping, which assumes that individuals with disabilities are not capable of performing certain tasks or jobs. This is a form of discrimination and violates the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in employment.
