Solved: The Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disability Act define a person with disability

The Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disability Act define a person with disability as one who:
a. has a physical impairment which substantially limits a major life activity
b. has a mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity
c. has a record of having a serious physical impairment
d. has a physical impairment which substantially limits a major life activity or has a record of having a serious physical impairment
e. has a physical impairment which substantially limits a major life activity or has a record of having a serious physical impairment or has a mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity

Expert Answer

Option E is correct

A is wrong because it is saying only about physical impairment

B is wrong because it saying only mental impairment

C is also wrong and incomplete

D is taking about physical impairment only

E is talking about both physical and mental impairment hence it is right answer.

As per ADA a person is considered to be a disability if he/she has a physical or mental impairment. That impairment should limit a life activity and the disability should have been recorded.
