What should an employer do if they receive a request for reasonable accommodation? What is considered as a reasonable accommodation?
What are the architectural standards the State and local governments are required to follow in the new construction and modification of their buildings? What do the public transportation and paratransit accessibility provisions cover for people with disabilities?
