Americans with Disabilities Act: ADA for Managers

The Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, has decreased discrimination against people with disabilities. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the unemployment rate for people with disabilities is twice as high as for people without disabilities. People with disabilities are often treated unfairly by employers and potential employers. As employers, it's our responsibility to educate ourselves so we don't discriminate against our employees. In this course, we'll take a closer look at the ADA and its amendments. Then, we'll define disability and reasonable accommodations, and walk through a list of dos and don'ts.
