Name two ways a person with a disability who is qualified to work in his/her job can prove his/her disability status and be legally protected in the workplace.
What will be an ideal response?
A person may be labeled as disabled if she or he has a physical or mental condition that substantially limits a major life activity (such as hearing, learning, seeing, talking, or walking). For adults, this is reflected in whether they can engage in work, and for children, this is reflected in their ability to engage in age-appropriate activities. A person may be labeled as disabled if she or he has a history of a disability (such as cancer that is in remission). A person may be labeled as disabled if she or he is thought to have a physical or mental impairment that is not transitory (lasting or expected to last 6 months or less) and is severe and interferes with normal activities of living. The condition must have existed for at least 12 months.
