Task: Text Completion
Input (English): 1167 (E.D.Mich.1994). There is no issue as to whether plaintiff and Irene were disabled, “otherwise qualified,” or that defendant received federal funds. The only dispute is whether defendant provided effective communication with plaintiff and Irene without a trained ASL interpreter. Courts have found violations of the Rehabilitation Act and the ADA where sign language interpreters have not been provided for a qualified deaf person. See e.g. Rothschild v. Grottenthaler, 907 F.2d 286, 293 (2d Cir.1990) (finding that school system must provide an enrolled hearing student’s deaf parents with a sign language interpreter at “school initiated conferences incident to the academic and/or disciplinary aspects of their child’s education”); Randolph v. Rodgers, 980 F.Supp. 1051 (E.D.Mo.1997) (<HOLDING>), rev’d in part, vacated in part, 170 F.3d 850
