Answer 1

Answer:

Gordon and Hi-Tech Solutions

Under these circumstances, Gordon is entitled to reasonable accommodations, which his employer can offer him, under the ADA.  The accommodations may involve assigning him to work that may not require the use of a keyboard to type and ensuring that he does not lose his position as a result of his physical condition.

Explanation:

Protections are offered to workers like Gordon who develop physical or mental disabilities prior to and during employment under the Americans with Disabilities Act.  It attempts to ensure that Americans with disabilities are not put to disadvantage or out of employment because of their disabilities.  Instead, reasonable accommodations are offered to such workers to ensure that they can continue to earn a living.
