While ADA is federal law and awards no damages, situations like what was described would be more appropriate as an EEOC matter.
An award of damages is a potential remedy when discrimination (e.g., not providing a reasonable accommodation) is found to have taken place. It is also a perfectly acceptable offering during alternative dispute resolution or as a settlement.
Lastly, civil litigation involving the ADA does not require support from the DoJ. The DoJ, as with other matters brought before courts on behalf of the government, CAN bring about suit and are generally responsible for enforcement.
People with disabilities sue private companies all the time for alleged/actual discrimination without the DoJ.
