ADA of 1990 (3 prongs to the definition of disability) -
\1.) A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major
life activities of such individual
2.) A record of such impairment
3.) Or being regarded of having in impairment
Explanation:
o This act keeps the "3 prong" definition as stated above, however, they are now
expanding on a broader interpretation of the defined version of "major life activities" by
including "functions of the immune system, normal cell growth, digestive, bowel,
bladder, neurological, brain, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive
functions." --> ex. Someone diagnosed with cancer is now diagnosed under the ADAAA
o The "regarded as" prong in the definition is now subjecting employees to no longer
prove they have a substantial limit in a major life activity. Now, they have extended it to
whether a CURRENT employee was subject to an action of an employer that is
, prohibited under the ADA --> example: not being hired due to a condition that is not
minor or temporary in nature. These individuals covered under this prong also are not
entitled to reasonable accommodation services.

\Prohibition of Discrimination in Employment Practices: private lawsuits charging
employment discrimination (EEOC). *The ADA does not obligate employers to hire

HARDSHIP."
Title II of ADA -
\Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services:
Subtitle A--> Extension of Section 504; stresses that PWD must have equal
opportunities to access the services and benefits of public entities (ex. providing an
interpreter for a deaf person at a city council meeting.) This means providing reasonable
modifications in their policies, practices, or procedures to avoid discrimination. Subtitle
B--> requires that any new buses, purchased or leased by a public transit system for
use on a fixed route, be accessible to PWD. *Paratransit and other special
transportation services are only required to the extent that such services are only
required to the extent that such provision does not create an undue financial burden.
Title III of ADA -
\Nondiscrimination in Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities: covers private
entities that are places of public accommodation, commercial facilities, as well as
private entities offering "examination and courses related to applications, licensing,
certification or credentials for secondary or post-secondary education, professional, or
trade purposes. Also prohibits discrimination of PWD from having full and equal
enjoyment of entities such as hotels, restaurants, theaters, bowling alleys, etc.
Title IV of ADA -
\Increased Access to Telecommunications: Deaf persons can now call on an operator
for assistance in relaying the communication to a third party who uses a conventional
phone.
Title V of ADA -
\Misc. Provisions: prohibits retaliation and coercion against an individual who has
opposed an act or practice made unlawful by the ADA.
Workforce Investment Act of 1988 -

employment and training services, including those in Title V of the Rehabilitation Act
