My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Ohio can an employer fire someone for a temporary disability.

Not enough details to really say.
You titled the thread "lack of work", but then you speak of being fired for a disability. Are you stating that you are being laid off or fired because your employer has no work for you at all, because your employer has no work available that is suitable for you due to medically-imposed restrictions resulting from your disability, or because you are disabled despite there being plenty of work available that you would be able to perform?
There was work I could have done . was not given the chance
Can we get a dentist in here? It's gonna be a tooth-pulling job!
Are you the only one who was laid off due to the lack of work?
The work you say you could have done, would it have required any accommodation for your temporary disability? Was it work your physician cleared you to do?
There was work I could have done with or without accommodation . my doctor listed my abilities .there were others there that received accommodations that I was denied . this place is a subcontractor for the US government.
Lack of work was the reason they gave to unemployment they sent me a letter stating they could not accommodate my restrictions. And they back dated my termination date .
If there was work that you could have performed, but it was already being performed by other disabled workers, then that would be why no additional work was available for you -- is that why you titled the thread, "lack of work"?
If you can't give a decent explanation of the facts, all we're going to be able to do is suggest that you consult an employment lawyer.
The others who received accommodations, were they the exact same accommodations you need? Did they suffer the exact same disability you do?
It sounds like your accommodations/restrictions were different enough that the company felt they could not provide work for you, which is generally their call initially.
