The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that

• A. equal consideration be given to disabled applicants who meet job qualifications
• B. require equal personnel training
• C. ensure all disabled applicants are hired
• D. restrict disabled applicants from certain roles

Answer: (A)

Non-discrimination in hiring is at the heart of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It requires that when applicants with disabilities meet the essential job qualifications, they are given equal consideration in the hiring process. Employers should evaluate abilities fairly and may provide reasonable accommodations to enable performance of the job, as long as doing so doesn’t cause undue hardship. The law does not promise that every disabled applicant will be hired, nor does it require everyone to receive the same training, nor does it permit excluding or restricting people with disabilities from certain roles simply because of their disability. By ensuring equal opportunity for those who qualify, the ADA promotes fair access to employment.
