The hypothalamus responds to various temperature receptors located throughout the body and makes physiological adjustments to maintain a constant core temperature. For example, on a hot day, temperature receptors located in the skin send signals to the hypothalamus to cool the body by increasing the sweat rate.
The ADA does not contain a list of medical conditions that constitute disabilities. Instead, the ADA has a general definition of disability that each person must meet (EEOC Regulations. . ., 2011). Therefore, some people with Alzheimerâs disease will have a disability under the ADA and some will not.
My husband is 58 years old and just last week was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimerâs. I feel he started about five years ago with this disease. He has lost 27 pounds in the last year and was fired from his job after 37 years. He is working part-time now in a grocery store, and the doctor said he should have a driving test. Does he need to be unemployed to receive disability?
