“Does Demanding An Interpreter Work?” – Austin
Free Event for People who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
“Does Demanding An Interpreter Work?” – Austin
Now, let me ask you several questions as below:
1) Do you believe that DEMANDING an interpreter (or other accommodation) for
an appointment works?
2) Do you believe that the service providers are REQUIRED to pay for an
accommodation, i.e., the interpreting service because the ADA says so?
3) Do you believe that ALL service providers/entities are aware of their
responsibility to accommodate you to ensure effective communication or
communication access?
If you answer “Yes” to at least one of the above questions, come to my
workshop to find out and to have fun learning. The workshop would empower
you to learn how to request an accommodation, i.e., interpreter or CART,
effectively while maintaining a healthy relationship with a service provider
or entity. The free workshop is scheduled and located at:
