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.
