Which statement about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is NOT true according to the material?

• A. It prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities
• B. It ensures effective communication
• C. It requires unlimited accommodations at all costs
• D. It ensures accessible facilities

Answer: (C)

The ADA centers on providing equal access through protections against discrimination, ensuring effective communication, and guaranteeing accessible facilities, while balancing accommodations with practicality. The statement that accommodations are unlimited and must be provided at all costs is not accurate because the law requires reasonable accommodations and does not impose an undue hardship on the operation of the entity. If a requested accommodation would be excessively costly or fundamentally alter how the business operates, it may not be required, and alternative reasonable solutions can be explored. Thus, disallowing unlimited, unlimited-cost accommodations is the correct distinction. The other points—prohibiting discrimination, ensuring effective communication, and ensuring accessible facilities—reflect true ADA protections.
