¿Cuáles son algunos conceptos básicos de la
ADA que debe saber como pequeño empleador?
* La Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA, por sus siglas en inglés) se trata de igualdad de oportunidades, no de una cuota dediscapacidad.
* No asuma que alguien con una discapacidad está menos calificado en función de su discapacidad.

While the ADA does not mandate an exact period of time when snow must be removed, the expectation is that snow removal on accessible routes is prioritized in order to provide access for pedestrians with disabilities. #ADA

¿Están seguros de que tengo un empleado con una discapacidad?
Alrededor del 20% de la población tiene una discapacidad. Algunas son visibles, pero muchas no lo son, como la depresión, el cáncer olas discapacidades auditivas.
No se trata del diagnóstico, se trata de cómo una afección afecta las funciones cotidianas.
