Despite the changes that have resulted since the passing of the ADA and the country’s changing social climate, individuals living with medical disabilities still face an uphill battle when it comes to finding a job. For many, the simple act of making it to the interview can be a challenge itself. When these individuals are given the opportunity to interview, they often face the very important question of disclosure. Some hold the view that all disabilities should be disclosed to potential employers, while others feel as if some disabilities need not be revealed. Regardless of the situation, the bottom line is that disclosing a disability is less of a legal issue, and more of an ethical decision.
