Please refer to the "Understanding Your Employment Rights Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): A Guide for Veterans." publication and the America's Heroes at Work video to help you answer the questions below.

2. What reasonable accommodations could disabled veterans legally request to address these challenges?

3. There are other groups that are also protected by the ADA. Does the law protect each of the groups listed below? What types of accommodations might be requested for each group?
