Which act specifies that qualified individuals should not face discrimination based on their disability?

The correct answer is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This law, enacted in 1990, specifically prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The ADA aims to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else, making it a pivotal piece of legislation for promoting equal access and non-discrimination.

While the Rehabilitation Act also addresses discrimination, specifically concerning programs receiving federal funding, the ADA is broader in scope and applies to all public and private sectors. The Fair Labor Standards Act relates primarily to minimum wage and overtime pay, and the Workforce Investment Act focuses on workforce development and employment training, neither of which specifically target disability discrimination. Thus, the Americans with Disabilities Act is the act most directly associated with anti-discrimination measures for individuals with disabilities.
