was not hired solely because of a disability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) was enacted in law in 1990 which prohibits any discrimination based on disability in employment, school, transportation, etc.

The ADA prohibits discrimination in employment in the form of not hiring because of disability, stopping promotion, training, etc.
