13 protected grounds of discrimination

7. Physical disability

People cannot discriminate against you because of your physical disabilities.

There are many kinds of physical disabilities. For example:

• Ed was born with cerebral palsy. He uses a wheelchair.
  
• Ty hurt his knee in an accident. He can’t bend his knee very much.
  
• Gita has diabetes. She checks her blood sugar often. She has a special diet.
  

John’s story

I am blind. I can’t see. I use a guide dog. One day, I went to a restaurant. The server said, “You can’t bring your dog in here.”

I know that guide dogs can go into restaurants. I think I was discriminated against because of my disability.
