Deaf\/Hard of Hearing Advocacy Awareness Night \u2013 San Marcos-Kyle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, November 29, 2011<\/p>\n

Listen up! Here are questions for you all.<\/p>\n

1) Has your request for an accommodation (i.e., interpreter) to ensure
\neffective communication been denied by your family doctor or local hospital?<\/p>\n

2) For a municipal court, have interpreters or other accommodation routinely
\nbeen denied? What about jail?<\/p>\n

3) Do you ever need assistance on educating your employer (boss) about your
\ndisability or communication needs? (For an example, there was no
\ninterpreter or other accommodation for a staff meeting or training)<\/p>\n

If you answered \u201cYes\u201d to at least one of the above questions, come to our
\ntraining to find out and to have fun learning. Don\u2019t forget to invite your
\nfamily members, friends, or co-workers who needed the resources. The
