People with sickle cell disease are protected under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)1, which means that employers must provide reasonable accommodations to qualified job applicants and employees with SCD.
According to the ADA, reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a job, the work environment, or the way things are usually done during the hiring process. These modifications enable an individual with a disability to have an equal opportunity not only to get a job but successfully perform their job tasks to the same extent as people without disabilities.
