Americans with Disabilities Act

[Guest guest]

Does the ADA Apply to People with Asthma and Allergies?

Yes.

In both the ADA and Section 504, a person with a disability is

described as someone who has a physical or mental impairment that

substantially limits one or more major life activities, or is

regarded as having such impairments.

Breathing, eating, working and going to school are " major life

activities. "

Asthma and allergies are still considered disabilities under the ADA,

even if symptoms are controlled by medication.
