In honor of the 30th Anniversary of when the #AmericanswithDisabilitiesAct was signed, Nance discusses #ableism and the #falsebeliefs about what people with #physicallimitations can and can’t do. These false beliefs can get you sued. Three tips:
- Always focus on the #essentialfunctions of the job
- Trust the candidates or employees to know their limitations and communicate them
- Defer to the doctors and other professionals, but be willing to discuss options
