Amanda is a struggling single parent with three small children. Due to a disability, she is confined to a wheelchair and receives a small compensation check. This income is not providing for her family so she decides to go back to work as a waitress. Amanda has held two other similar jobs in the past and was able to complete her tasks as required from the comfort of her wheelchair. She applies for a part-time job at a local diner and is asked to come in for an interview. There are two other people there for the same position. They have no previous experience waitressing, but are not disabled. Amanda is denied the job because the diner cannot make accommodations due to limited space. As she leaves the interview, there are two other handicapped individuals in wheelchairs eating in the establishment. Does Amanda have a valid claim with the Americans with Disabilities Act?
