Document Summary

Physical and mental disability: chapter 14 adms 3450 438. History: current beliefs about people with disabilities that they are and to be feared--are similar to those that have existed throughout history. How does an organization know if an applicant with a disability is qualified: a qualified person is one who can perform the essential functions of the job in question, with or without a reasonable accommodation. Essential functions are those that are the basis for the existence of a job; if these functions were not required, there would be no need for the job. Reasonable accommodations: a reasonable accommodation is one that the employer can implement to enable the qualified person to perform essential job functions without causing undue hardship to the employer. Medical examinations: only after making a contingent job offer may employers ask applicants to answer medical questions or take a medical exam.
