Do I have a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act?

The definition of a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act is very broad. A person is considered to be disabled under the ADA if the person has a physical or mental impairment that limits a major life activity, or if the person has had a history of such an impairment, or if they employer regards or perceives the person as having such an impairment. Any major life activity is an activity that affects walking, standing, speaking, seeing, or communicating. Your employer is required to accommodate your disability as long as it does not pose an undue burden on the employer.
