Disability Discrimination
In 1990, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act, which provides a broad range of protections to individuals with disabilities. Perhaps the most important aspect of this legislation is its prohibition of discrimination against disabled persons in the workplace. This includes many of the same protections afforded to other widely disadvantaged groups, but disabled individuals are also given additional protections under the law.
If you or someone you know is a disabled individual who has experienced discrimination from a federal employer, your rights may have been violated.

Disability Discrimination Protections
In order to ensure that disabled individuals have the same opportunities in the workplace as everyone else, the following types of discrimination are prohibited:
- Limiting disabled employees’ job functions or classification
- Refusing to promote qualified disabled employees
- Failing to provide reasonable accommodations for an employee’s disabilities
- Not providing adequate job training accommodations
These are just some of the many different ways in which disabled workers are protected from discrimination in their place of employment.
