Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), any state or
local service, program or offering, any hospital, hotel, motel,

employees must provide effective means of communication
for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Often, the
best means of communication is through American Sign
Language (ASL) interpreters. However, ASL interpreters may
not be needed frequently or for a long enough time to make it
economically feasible to have a full-time interpreter onsite.
