No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, priviledges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation.
Most people spend more time in public facilities than in their own homes.
Public facilities may include the place where we work, the restaurant where we eat or the grocery store where we buy our food. Use of public facilities by individuals who are deaf or hearing impaired is difficult without the availability of assistive technology. Public facilities need to increase the awareness of their legal obligations to serve all people. This can be done by becoming aware of the Americans with Disabilities Act. To accommodate the needs of people who are deaf or hearing impaired, this obligation implies the provision of assistive technology. .
