Understanding the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is essential to properly advocating for your rights as a Deaf American. To be able to explain clearly and to identify the correct titles that apply in any given situation is key to getting access and services you are entitled to under the law. This workshop will focus on explaining the three (3) ADA titles that apply to the Deaf community and will help answer common questions. Learning about these can empower you to become an effective advocate for yourself and for your friends and family.

1. Participants will be able to define titles I, II and, III with overarching descriptions.
2. Participants will be able to identify the basic fundamentals of each title and the Rehab Act.
3. Participants will be able to cite the difference between a “Signer” and “Interpreter” according to the law.
