Which law provides protection against discrimination in employment, accessibility, and education of individuals with disabilities?

• A. ADA
• B. Section 504
• C. IDEA
• D. FERPA

Answer: (B)

The main concept is recognizing which statute offers broad protection for people with disabilities across work, access, and schooling. The Americans with Disabilities Act provides comprehensive protections: it bars discrimination in employment, requires reasonable accommodations in the workplace, and mandates accessibility in public spaces and services. It also ensures access to education by requiring that schools and higher education programs are accessible to students with disabilities. Section 504 protects individuals with disabilities in programs receiving federal funding, including many educational settings and some employment contexts, but its scope is narrower and tied to funding rather than the full range of employment and public accommodations. IDEA focuses on special education services for students, and FERPA covers privacy of student records rather than discrimination protections. So, the ADA is the best fit for protection across employment, accessibility, and education.
