Disability
In order to provide protection from all three of these types of discrimination, 29 CFR Part 37 uses the following three-part definition for the term "disability":
- A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of a person's major life activities;
- A record of such an impairment; or
- Being regarded [by a program, activity, training provider, employer, or other person or entity covered by the law] as having such an impairment.
So an "individual with a disability," means someone who falls under one of these three categories. The next part of the training will examine each of those categories in detail.
