However, until recently, this technology has been cost-prohibitive to organizations outside of hospitals.

Americans with Disabilities Act and COVID-19
|
|
|
|
Prior to March 2020, boards of education regularly handled requests from employees for reasonable accommodations at work due to disabilities. With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, employees with and without disabilities became fearful of coming to work. This led to an increase in requests from teaching staff members and other employees to work remotely. In light of the issues created by this public health emergency, this Administrative Guide provides a review and guidance on the handling of requests for accommodations under the ADA.
