Act 57: Sign Language Interpreter and Transliterator State Registration
|
|
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) gives rights of equal access to places of public accommodation. For Deaf and hard of hearing people, Title III requires businesses and agencies to remove many frustrating barriers to communication. In order to provide equal access to those individuals who are Deaf, all public accommodations are required to provide auxiliary aids and services to ensure effective communication. For more information on the ADA and how it applies to you, contact the Department of Justice's ADA Information's line at 1-800-514-0301 or 1-800-514-0383 (TDD) or the National Association of the Deaf Legal Department at 301-587-1788.
