Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
A federal law that protects the rights of people with disabilities at work and in public places. The ADA makes it illegal for employers, the government, or other public agencies to discriminate against (to treat unfairly or unequally) disabled people at work and in most public places, places, such as restaurants, hotels, and theaters. The law also requires employers to make
reasonable accommodations
to allow employees with disabilities to do their jobs.
