Under the ADA, employers must provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities. Accommodations create access, not advantages.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that public spaces, including schools, businesses, and transportation, be accessible. Accessibility is a right, not a luxury.
