Abstract

The Rehabilitation Act (Rehab Act) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are pivotal legislation in the United States, striving to dismantle barriers that have historically impeded the full inclusion of individuals with disabilities in various facets of society. This chapter delves into the importance of the Rehab Act and ADA's accommodation provision in fostering inclusivity for individuals with disabilities. The research findings underscore the Rehab Act and ADA's far-reaching implications in shaping workplace culture and practices. It elucidates the instrumental role reasonable accommodation played in leveling the playing field for employees with disabilities, enabling them to contribute their talents and skills fully. It also serves as a timely contribution to the ongoing discourse on workplace inclusivity and disability rights. Ultimately, this research underscores the imperative of upholding the integrity enshrined in the Rehab Act and ADA to create workplaces that are not only legally compliant but also genuinely inclusive and psychologically safe for all.
