DRP Assisted an individual with a mobility disability in requesting an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act

Disability Rights Pennsylvania assisted an individual with a mobility disability in requesting an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act that would allow her to park close to her office building. The individual’s employer had moved her parking space farther away from the building. Without a closer parking space, she would be unable to work. DRP counseled the individual regarding how to request an accommodation from her employer. Upon doing so, the employer worked with the building owner to designate additional accessible parking spaces close to the building. With this accommodation, she can continue to work.
