The Ontario Human Rights Code is the key piece of legislation which prohibits discrimination against persons because of disability — and learning disabilities are mentioned specifically. Reasonable accommodations which respect the dignity of the person with a disability, do not change the essential requirements of the job or program, and do not cause undue hardship to the provider, are required under this legislation.
