The Americans with Disabilities Act: implications of Supreme Court decisions for case managers.
The Supreme Court interpreted the application of the ADA to be based on an individualized evaluation of a person's circumstances. A full, objective vocational evaluation continues to be a valuable tool for the employee, insurance company, employer, attorney, and judicial system. Case managers must continually evaluate an individual's potential in light of his or her circumstances, not just the medical diagnosis.
