This scenario violates the ADA as it represents discrimination based on disability by denying access due to assumptions about the individual's potential use of facilities. The ADA requires reasonable accommodations unless they would cause undue hardship or pose a direct threat that cannot be eliminated by reasonable accommodation. Installing wider doorways, providing a standing desk, and allowing the use of assistive technology are all examples of reasonable accommodations that comply with the ADA.
