effective communication

I received a request from someone who will be traveling from another state to attend my workshop. She is deaf and wants to bring a sign language interpreter with her. Do I have to pay for her interpreter?

A public entity or private business conducting a workshop cannot require an individual with a disability to bring another individual to interpret for him or her.

If I am using my facility to host a job fair, must I provide a sign language interpreter?

When is an organization or business required to provide an interpreter?

Public entities and private businesses have responsibilities under the ADA to furnish appropriate auxiliary aids and services where necessary to ensure effective communication with individuals with disabilities. A qualified sign language interpreter is considered an auxiliary aid or service.
