  1. “"Discrimination under the ADA encompasses not only adverse actions motivated by prejudice and fear of disabilities, but also includes failing to make reasonable accommodations for a plaintiff's disabilities." Taylor [v. Phoenixville School Dist.] , 184 F.3d [296] at 306 [ (3d Cir. 1999) ]. For an employer "to be found liable for discrimination on the basis of failure to accommodate, the plaintiff must prove '(1) he is a disabled person within the meaning of the ADA; (2) he is otherwise qualified to perform the essential functions of the job, with or without reasonable accommodations by the employer; and (3) he has suffered an otherwise adverse employment decision as a result of discrimination ... [which] in this context include[s] refusing to make reasonable accommodations for a plaintiff's disabilities.' " Hohider [v. United Parcel Service, Inc.] , 574 F.3d [169] at 186-87 [ (3d Cir. 2009) ] (quoting Williams [v.
