More details to this question:
I have an ADA in place because of my disability. My employer has refused to make the accommodations that my doctor listed in the packet. My employer is now telling me that every day I have to bring in a letter from my doctor stating that I'm having trouble with my disability. Today, they made me sign a paper that basically says that I know that they can fire me at any time. I don't know what I can do?

I suggest you file a complaint with your HR Office and if this continues you should consult an attorney.

you should speak with an attorney that handles ADA claims. I do not. I do find that employees often think they have rights that they do not have.

First, does the employer have more than 50 employees? If so, ADA applies; if not, it doesn't. If ADA applies, they have to give you a reasonable accommodation. Is what you want reasonable? Can you perform the work with the accommodation? If so, or if you don't know if your request is reasonable, file a complaint with the EEOC. If there are more than 50 employees, I believe that your employer is not complying with the ADA.
