Persons with Intellectual Disabilities in the Workplace and the ADA- EEOC

The EEOC document, Persons with Intellectual Disabilities in the Workplace and the ADA, talks about how the ADA applies to job applicants and employees with intellectual disabilities and explains:

• when an employer may ask an applicant, employee, or third party (such as the family member of an applicant or employee) questions about an intellectual disability;
• what types of reasonable accommodations applicants and employees with intellectual disabilities may need;
• how an employer should handle safety concerns about applicants and employees with intellectual disabilities; and
• how an employer can make sure no employee is harassed because of an intellectual disability.
