The pamphlet emphasizes that the ADA is not affirmative action legislation but civil rights legislation. It discusses the job applicant's rights concerning confidentiality, accommodation, job program accessibility, and insurance. It answers questions concerning disclosure of the disability, determination of the type of accommodation needed, and procedures for filing discrimination complaints. (JDD)
