To Employers

You may need to advocate on behalf of the service member or veteran with TBI to assure access to employment, transportation, or commercial places.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that employers, public transportation, and commercial businesses not discriminate against people with disabilities. It requires reasonable changes to be made so that the person can work, ride on public transportation, and/or use commercial places.

If you think your family member with TBI is being discriminated against, speak up. Get to know the rights guaranteed under the ADA and how to advocate on your family member’s behalf by going to www.ada.gov.
