Disability: Exceptions to the definition of individual with a disability
Federal laws barring discrimination on the basis of disability contain several exceptions to the definition of "individual with a disability." These exceptions mean that people who have certain conditions, or who engage in certain activities, are not protected from adverse actions that are motivated by those conditions or activities, even if those actions would otherwise be considered discriminatory.
The WIA nondiscrimination regulations contain two types of exceptions to the definition of "individual with a disability": exceptions that apply in all aspects of the One-Stop Career Center system, and exceptions that apply only in the employment context.
