9th Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Civil) 12.7
ADA—Qualified Individual
The second element of the ADA claim that the plaintiff must prove is that the plaintiff is a qualified individual under the ADA.
The term “qualified individual” means an individual with a disability who, either with or without a reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the employment position that such individual holds or desires. The individual must satisfy the requisite skill, experience, education, and other job-related requirements of the employment position.
