Who Needs Access For The Deaf?
Most
businesses, state and local governmental authorities that deal with the public
are covered under the American with Disabilities Act of 1990. The
ADA covers not only the population that is physically handicapped but
it also covers the population who are deaf or have hearing disabilities.
The Department of Justice indicates that there are over 5 million facilities/business that fall in the category of "Places of Public Accommodation" (Title III) and are mandated by federal law, the ADA, to be accessible to the deaf and people with hearing disabilities. These entities must provide "auxiliary aids" that provide "effective communication" for people who are deaf or have hearing disabilities.
