Jeopardy!! on ADA specializing in Deaf/Hard of Hearing
If you are not sure that participating in Jeopardy!! on ADA would be fun and
beneficial, answer the questions below:
1) Have you ever been confused about what ADA really says about who provides
an interpreter or other auxiliary aid/service?
2) Does a private doctor’s office have to employ at least 15 employees
before providing an interpreter or other auxiliary aid/service?
3) Does a Social Security office have to follow ADA?
4) Under the ADA, are employers required to pay for interpreters or other
auxiliary aid/service for their Deaf/hard of hearing employees?
5) Does ADA apply to a public college/university only, not a private one?
If you answered “Yes” to at least one of the above questions, come to my
training to find out and to have fun learning through playing the Jeopardy!!
game. The training would empower you to learn how to self-advocate as a
Deafor Hard of Hearing individual. The training is scheduled and located at:
