• He or she has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of his/her major life activities. • He or she has a record of such an impairment. • He or she is regarded as having such an impairment. Other individuals who are protected in certain circumstances include (1) those, such as parents, who have an association with an individual known to have a disability, and (2) those who are coerced or subjected to retaliation for assisting individuals with disabilities in asserting their rights under the ADA. While the employment provisions of the ADA apply to employers of fifteen employees or more, its public accommodations provisions apply to all sizes of business, regardless of number of employees. State and local governments are covered regardless of size. Effective enforcement of this landmark civil rights legislation is a high priority of the Federal Government.
