What does the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) forbid?

  1. Discrimination against individuals who have disabilities

  2. Sharing of personal health information without consent

  3. Employers from firing employees without notice

  4. Any physical barriers in public buildings

The correct answer is: Discrimination against individuals who have disabilities

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. Option A is correct as it accurately states the main purpose of the ADA. Option B is incorrect as the sharing of personal health information without consent is regulated by HIPAA, not the ADA. Option C and D are also incorrect as the ADA does not cover the firing of employees or physical barriers in public buildings. The ADA primarily focuses on ensuring equal access and opportunities for individuals with disabilities in areas such as employment, transportation, and public accommodations.
