Explain how the following legal concepts relate to AIDS: otherwise qualified, essential functions, and reasonable accommodation

What will be an ideal response?


• A person with a handicap is "otherwise qualified" when he or she can perform what the courts have described as the essential functions of the job.
• In determining if a worker with a handicap can perform the essential functions of a job, employers are required to make reasonable accommodations to help the worker. This concept applies to workers with any type of handicapping condition including a communicable disease such as AIDS. What constitutes reasonable accommodation, just as what constitutes otherwise qualified, must be determined on a case-by-case basis.
