Saying a deaf person hires an interpreter for a business is like saying someone in a wheelchair needs to bring their one accessible toilet.

I was just thinking about how venues have to comply with Ada compliance when building the building for instance. Handi cap Parking spots, ramps

Do you know who to reach out to to encourage schools to teach ASL as a second language? I think it would be a massive benefit to everyone

I’ve been following along. Sorry you guys have to deal with this. Do you have to notify in advance that a interpreter is needed? If so how much notice

That comment is so stupid, like when venues were forced to hire someone to build a wheelchair ramp? Same thing man, ADA requirements to operate.

CassiAA_11 :
Every business I go to seems to be required to have handicapped parking. No one argues that. Why do people think it’s different?

Venues have to provide services period. No matter the handicap. At least that has been my understanding.

And the same people wouldn't say a word if I went to a venue and said I need a chair because I'm disabled. Equity is different from equality.

You are so much calmer than I am when I experience discrimination due to my disability. The ADA exists for a damn good reason. I wish more people —

no one understands laws until they get in trouble or not following them or looked things up because someone applied to them. rarely we get taught.

Clearly the admin at the venue is of the same misinformed opinion as this commenter… I hope your story gets heard far & wide & sparks compliance!!

You can't force them, the same way you can't force businesses to have handicap parking spaces, or allow service animals 🙄 it's the law

It’s absolutely the law and it’s not hard to accommodate! I had an interpreter at my wedding for deaf family members because I wanted them included.
