 | | In sum, the determination as to whether allergies to cigarette smoke, or allergies or sensitivities characterized by the commenters as environmental illness are disabilities covered by the regulation must be made using the same case-by-case analysis that is applied to all other physical or mental impairments. | | | A person who can walk for 10 miles continuously is not substantially limited in walking merely because, on the eleventh mile, he or she begins to experience pain, because most people would not be able to walk eleven miles without experiencing some discomfort. | | | This paragraph prohibits both blatantly exclusionary policies or practices and nonessential policies and practices that are neutral on their face, but deny individuals with disabilities an effective opportunity to participate. |

| | A qualified individual with a disability is a person who meets legitimate skill, experience, education, or other requirements of an employment position that s/he holds or seeks, and who can perform the essential functions of the position with or without reasonable accommodation. | | | No. Individuals who currently engage in the illegal use of drugs are specifically excluded from the definition of a qualified individual with a disability protected by the ADA when the employer takes action on the basis of their drug use. | | | For example, this provision would protect a person whose spouse has a disability from being denied employment because of an employers unfounded assumption that the applicant would use excessive leave to care for the spouse. |

| | The Administration’s goal is to integrate people with disabilities into the social mainstream with equal opportunities and the opportunity to make choices in their lives. | | | The initiative would target children with significant problems in learning to read, and those exhibiting behaviors that have been found to lead to significant discipline problems or emotional disturbance as they get older. | | | Medicaid is often the only form of health care available to people with disabilities and allows many children and adults to receive services at home rather than in institutions. |
