The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that equal consideration be given to disabled applicants who meet job qualifications. This means that disabled applicants cannot be discriminated against based on their disability and must be evaluated based on their ability to perform the job requirements. However, the ADA does not require that all persons with disabilities who apply for a job be hired or that persons with disabilities who do not meet all qualifications must be hired. Special accommodations must be provided for applicants and employees with disabilities in order to ensure equal access and opportunity in the workplace.
