Americans With Disabilities ActThe Americans with Disabilities Act, Title III, gives rights of equal access to places of public accommodation. This includes a wide range of businesses, such as doctors' and lawyers' offices, private and public schools, theaters, banks, government agencies, and more. For deaf and hard-of-hearing people, this means businesses and agencies must remove any communication barriers. Often, providing a sign language interpreter is the most effective way to eliminate these frustrating obstacles to communication. Reference: http://www.nad.org/issues/about-law-and-advocacy-center.
