The theory is that if the convenience of applying for employment online
is provided, it should be accessible to interested persons with
disabilities.

You don't know what the OP's disability is. It may be that he's blind
and the Toys R Us website isn't hasn't been designed to function with a
speech reader. Or it may have features that only work by clicking on
them with a mouse, and the OP may have mobility impairments that
restrict him to functions available through keyboard use.
