Links and Additional Resources
The following are links to other sites that we hope will provide you with additional resources on Interpreting and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf is a national membership organization... "(that) advocates for the increased quality, qualifications, and quantity of interpreters through our three main triad of services:"
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) provides very useful information on a wonderful website. We are including a few direct links to information about responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The first is for Employers and explains "reasonable accommodation" and an employers obligations to equal access.
The next is ADA Q & A for Health Care Providers. We strongly recommend this page to doctors and other health care providers who are unsure if they are required to provide and pay for interpreting services for patients. Another page that you may find helpful is Legal Rights. This page is a list of links to a variety of topics within the NAD website.
The Arizona Center for Disability Law "advocates for the legal rights for persons with disabilities." This site provides many links for further information, including links to Federal websites with information about the ADA.
AAPID considers this page to be a work in progress. If you have any suggestions for sites you've found helpful, please send your recommendations to our Secretary.
