ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and Reasonable Accommodations

The objective of this discussion is to reflect on how organizations make accommodations for people with disabilities and are ADA-compliant.

Before beginning your assignment, review the following article:

What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?

Then—before you start write out your initial post—do the following exercise:

Write a disability on a separate sheet of paper. You can use anything as an example: a visible disability (immobility, for example) or an invisible disability (such as Asperger’s).

Next, write out everything that comes to mind regarding stereotypes for this disability. If you can, try to also include some idea of how you came to know the stereotype(s).

Then, come up with some activities you have experienced at your job (past, present, imagined) such as a general workshop of any kind, company picnic, or even something casually organized like getting together for a social event after work.

Overall, your task is to come up with reasonable accommodations for a person with that disability to attend that organization’s activity or event. For example, if the activity is to attend a football game and the assigned disability is blindness, then the group needs to determine how they would accommodate a blind person attending a football game.

Provide a thoughtful post of 2-3 paragraphs, citing 1-2 scholarly sources. Remember to encourage discussion, proofread, and demonstrate your understanding of the material by citing properly.
