Course overview
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.
The individuals involved in the development and promotion of this course do not receive any compensation or financial benefits outside of their regular employment for their work on this course.
