The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in several areas, including employment, transportation, public accommodations, communications and access to state and local government’ programs and services.
The US Department of Health and Human Services enforces federal laws that prohibit the discrimination against persons with disabilities. These various laws protect all persons with disabilities from discrimination, including parents and guardians, students, and employees. As such, all staff, managers, and partners of the M.I.N.D. are required to comply and undergo training related to such anti-discrimination policies.
Disability harassment is unwelcome conduct based on an individual’s actual or perceived disability. Disability harassment can take many forms, including slurs, taunts, stereotypes, or name-calling, as well as disability-motivated physical threats, attacks, or other hateful conduct.

When an employee knows or reasonably should know of possible disability harassment, they must take immediate and appropriate steps to investigate or otherwise determine what occurred. If an investigation reveals that the harassment created a hostile environment, the M.I.N.D. will take reasonably calculated prompt and effective steps to end the harassment, eliminate the hostile environment, prevent its recurrence, and, as appropriate, remedy its effects.
