Your Obligations as a Service Provider
If you provide services to the public, you are responsible for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA. The ADA passed in 1990 And requires all public-access businesses provide accommodations for the disabled that ensure their equal access to the same services as those without disabilities. For the deaf and hard of hearing, this means providing communication tools, including interpreters and/or captioning to allow for seamless and effective communication among deaf, hard of hearing and hearing. This federal law requires that the cost for these services is the responsibility of the service provider, not the customer.
