If you feel you may be a victim of disability discrimination, you can do a few things.
First, try to talk to the person who you feel is discriminating against you. This conversation can be difficult, but it may help to clear the air and resolve the issue.
Second, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC is responsible for investigating charges of discrimination in the workplace.
If all else fails, you can file a private lawsuit against the person or organization you feel is discriminating against you.
If you win your case, you may be entitled to damages, including lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages.
