7 Example 1 Daniel went to a popular restaurant. Daniel has a learning disability that makes reading difficult for him. When the server offered Daniel a menu, he declined and asked the server instead to verbally describe his menu options. The server said, “It’s all on the menu”, dropped the menu on the table, and stepped away. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?

8 Example 2 Rodney, an individual with a hearing impairment, is starting classes to obtain a real estate broker license. When he attends the first class, Rodney discovers that he cannot hear the instructor, so he asks for an assistive listening device. The private company that offers the class refuses to provide the device. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?

9 Example 3 Nina, an individual who is blind, uses her city’s fixed route bus system. She is frustrated because the bus drivers do not consistently announce the bus stops. This makes it more difficult for Nina to independently find her way to her destinations. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?

10 Example 4 Rhoda is a double amputee who uses prosthetics on both legs. She would like to get a service dog to assist her with balance and retrieving items. The property manager at the private apartment complex where she lives is refusing to allow her to keep a dog in her apartment, citing their “no pets” policy. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?

11 Example 5 Regina, a software engineer, has diabetes. Her employer, a large firm, frequently requires her to work late, with little to no advance notice. Because of this, Regina is not able to eat dinner at a consistent time resulting in dangerous fluctuations of her blood sugar level. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?

12 Example 6 Kaitlyn’s doctor’s office calls her to schedule an appointment to review her options for addressing her recent cancer diagnosis. She is understandably concerned and tells the receptionist that her husband, who is deaf, will be accompanying her to the appointment. She asks that the office provide a sign language interpreter so that her husband can participate in the appointment. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?

13 Example 7 Naomi is applying for a job at a large department store. While completing the application, she discovers that there is a question asking if she has a disability. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?

14 Example 8 Tim, a wheelchair user, is traveling by air. The airline charged him a baggage fee to transport his wheelchair. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?

15 Example 9 Cycil is a public high school student who is paraplegic. His school has a swimming pool that was built in the 1980’s. Cycil would like to participate in community swimming classes offered at the school. Although he can get to the pool area in his wheelchair, there is no accessible way for him to get in and out of the pool. Cycil’s parents have asked the school to provide a portable lift that will allow Cycil to enter and exit the pool and attend the same swimming classes as his peers. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?

16 Example 10 Chris and his friend Pete go to the local movie theatre to check out the new action film. Pete uses a wheelchair. Although the theatre offers accessible seating where Pete can stay in his wheelchair and Chris can sit next to him, it’s closer to the screen than either of them prefers. Pete leaves his wheelchair in the accessible seating area and sits a couple of rows back in a “regular” seat. Shortly before the movie starts, a theatre employee tells Pete that he has to sit in his wheelchair and that if he does not, he and Chris will need to leave. Is this situation covered under the ADA? If so, under which Title is it covered?
