Abstract
In an extension of research demonstrating disability discrimination within the work force, this paper focuses on the laws designed to prevent such discrimination. These laws protect individuals with disabilities in recruitment, pre-employment screening, hiring, promotions, layoffs and termination's, and any other term, condition, or privilege of employment.
