Which act prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in various aspects of life including employment?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the correct answer because it was specifically enacted to prevent discrimination against individuals with disabilities in multiple areas, including employment, public accommodations, transportation, and more. Under this law, employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, ensuring they have equal opportunities in the workplace. This act seeks to promote inclusivity and protect the rights of people with disabilities, allowing them to participate fully in society.

Other acts mentioned serve different purposes. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act focuses on protecting employees and job applicants aged 40 and older from age discrimination. The Equal Employment Opportunity Act primarily established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination, but it does not solely target disabilities. The Workers’ Compensation Act pertains to benefits for employees who are injured on the job rather than addressing discrimination based on disability.
