“Any Questions about ADA focusing on Deaf/Hard of Hearing?”
If you don’t think that attending to the ADA training would be beneficial, answer the questions below:
1) Have you ever been confused about what ADA really says?
2) Does a private doctor’s office have to employ at least 15 employees before having to comply with ADA?
3) Does a Social Security office have to follow ADA?
4) Under the ADA, are the employers required to pay for the interpreters for their Deaf/hard of hearing employees?
5) Does ADA apply to a public college/university only, not a private one?
If you answer “Yes” to at least one of any above questions, come to my training to find out. The training would empower you learn to self-advocate as a Deaf or Hard of Hearing individual. Here are the training dates and locations:
