Specific Prohibitions
The following are specific examples of actions that are discriminatory:
- Accepting any job orders from an employer that will not accept applications from qualified persons with disabilities.
- Stereotyping people with disabilities when evaluating their skills, needs, abilities, and interests.
- Referring qualified people with disabilities to different programs / activities / employers / types of jobs than other qualified people.
- Failing to provide reasonable accommodations or modifications.
- Using tests or other assessment processes that measure customers' impairments, not their skills and abilities. For example:
A State requires all One-Stop Centers to administer a particular test to assess customers' basic skill levels and interests. The test is available only in written form, and test monitors are not permitted to talk to customers who are taking the test. Customers with visual impairments have difficulty reading the questions and filling out the answer sheets. Therefore, the test cannot provide an accurate measure of the skills or interests of these customers; their test results are skewed by their visual impairments. The State's actions in requiring use of the test are discriminatory and unlawful.
