BUSI530 Week 7 Discussion 11

The ADAAA expanded the definition of “disability” under the ADA to state that an impairment can be “substantially limiting” even if it expected to last only a limited period of time. 

• Does this mean that pregnancy-related conditions that      are “substantially limiting” can serve as the basis for either a gender      discrimination or disability discrimination claim, or even both?
• If so, what would be the advantage of filing a      disability discrimination claim as opposed to a gender discrimination      claim?
