This guide provides information about laws and issues that
affect the employment of people with disabilities in the Federal Government.
The guide also contains information regarding the roles and responsibilities
of various organizations, a glossary of terms, a discussion of hiring issues
and authorities, information about reasonable accommodation, and tips for working
with people with disabilities and integrating them into the workforce.
The guide is not intended to be a substitute for legal advice
or interpretation of the laws (readers are encouraged to seek legal counsel
within their agencies to address their specific questions). The guide, therefore,
can serve as an overview of the various issues as well as provide the reader
with a list of resources that affect the employment of people with disabilities
in Federal service.
