Career Resources for Students with Disabilities

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals with a disability. Employers must provide equal opportunities to qualified individuals in hiring, firing, promotions, compensation, and other employment practices. This law states that employers must make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities. An accommodation is a modification that allows an individual to participate in the interviewing process and/or perform the essential functions of their job. It must be realistic and cannot cause hardship to the employer.

For more information about accommodations, visit the Job Accommodation Network.

For disability resources at Behrend, please visit Disabilities and Learning Differences.
