QUESTION: What can I do if I think my employer or supervisor is discriminating against me because of my disability?

The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) has a helpful fact sheet, Employment Rights, Who Has Them and Who Enforces Them, which summarizes the federal laws that prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities and provides contact information for further information and assistance.

There may also be applicable laws in your state. Contact your State Department of Labor office for more information.
