Document Accommodating people with intellectual disabilities - This paper will tell consumers and those involved in consumers' lives how the ADA may apply to people with a cognitive disability. By "cognitive disability", we mean someone who has difficulty reading, writing and understanding, due to mental retardation, autism, traumatic brain injury, or other disability. Examples based upon real life situations illustrate the kinds of issues and considerations that may be involved with this population. We give examples of reasonable accommodations that employers, businesses and public agencies may need to provide to give people with cognitive disabilities equal opportunities under the law. Reasonable accommodations for a person with a cognitive disability may look quite different than those for a person with a physical disability.
