My friend recently filed for disability discrimination, but he had a hard time proving that he was disabled. It's really sad because all he wanted was to have a different monitor and a speech-to-text program that would enable him to continue working. He is dyslexic.

That is unfortunate for your friend, but the fact remains that the burden of proof to prove that he is indeed disabled is on his shoulders. If he can't prove that, he won't be able to win any disability discrimination cases.

I think that the company is being unreasonable. They should give your friend what he needs to do his job, because in the long run, it is going to go back to their bottom line.

I appreciate the fact that our company has a policy of providing for its employees. Anything that you can justify as necessary to do your work will be given to you.

Sad, but there is hope. I have heard that they are going to change the disability definition and test. This means that it will be easier for people like your friend to prove that they are indeed disabled and should be protected by the law.

I've heard of that. I've also heard that indirect discrimination would also be covered soon, meaning that it will be unlawful for employers to discriminate against disabled people even indirectly!

These are steps and changes that should be welcome! I also think that it will force companies to be more sensitive and understanding!

I really think that it's nice that the law evolves to become more responsive to people and their needs!
