Which country or jurisdiction do you mean? Different countries use different laws. Common examples:

- United States: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) — bars discrimination and requires reasonable accommodations in employment, public services, public accommodations, and telecommunications (1990).
- United Kingdom: Equality Act 2010 — consolidates anti‑discrimination law including protections for disability in work, services and education (replaced the Disability Discrimination Act).
- Canada: Accessible Canada Act (federal, 2019) plus provincial laws such as Ontario’s Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA); human‑rights legislation also protects disabled people.
- Australia: Disability Discrimination Act 1992 — prohibits discrimination in many areas including employment and education.
- International: UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) — a treaty setting out rights and obligations for ratifying states.

Tell me which country or the specific type of protection you need (employment, education, public services) and I’ll give the exact law and key provisions.
