[QUOTE="puresurrender, post: 872733, member: 36967"] I have REALLY been trying to help you. See if this helps you at all: [B][SIZE=5]Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)[/SIZE][/B] [INDENT]The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, State and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications. It also applies to the United States Congress. To be protected by the ADA, one must have a disability or have a relationship or association with an individual with a disability. An individual with a disability is defined by the ADA as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. The ADA does not specifically name all of the impairments that are covered. [B][SIZE=4]ADA Title I: Employment[/SIZE][/B] Title I requires employers with 15 or more employees to provide qualified individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from the full range of employment-related opportunities available to others. For example, it prohibits discrimination in recruitment, hiring, promotions, training, pay, social activities, and other privileges of employment. It restricts questions that can be asked about an applicant's disability before a job offer is made, and it requires that employers make reasonable accommodation to the known physical or mental limitations of otherwise qualified individuals with disabilities, unless it results in undue hardship. Religious entities with 15 or more employees are covered under title I. Title I complaints must be filed with the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 180 days of the date of discrimination, or 300 days if the charge is filed with a designated State or local fair employment practice agency. Individuals may file a lawsuit in Federal court only after they receive a "right-to-sue" letter from the EEOC. Charges of employment discrimination on the basis of disability may be filed at any U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission field office. Field offices are located in 50 cities throughout the U.S. and are listed in most telephone directories under "U.S. Government." For the appropriate EEOC field office in your geographic area, contact: [INDENT][INDENT](800) 669-4000 (voice) (800) 669-6820 (TTY) [URL="http://www.eeoc.gov/"]www.eeoc.gov[/URL] [/INDENT][/INDENT]Publications and information on EEOC-enforced laws may be obtained by calling: [INDENT][INDENT](800) 669-3362 (voice) (800) 800-3302 (TTY) [/INDENT][/INDENT]For information on how to accommodate a specific individual with a disability, contact the Job Accommodation Network at: [INDENT][INDENT](800) 526-7234 (voice/TTY) [URL="http://www.usdoj.gov/cgi-bin/outside.cgi?http://www.jan.wvu.edu"]www.jan.wvu.edu[/URL] [/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
