DLAC Seeks Input on Communication Experiences

Disability Law & Advocacy Center of Tennessee (DLAC) is working to address communication issues experienced by people with disabilities.  The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires businesses and governments to provide communication support services when necessary. Examples of support services include sign language interpreters, Braille documents, large print, and real time text.

Despite these requirements, people with disabilities still sometimes experience difficulty communicating in various situations. DLAC wants to know about communication issues that you, your family members, or those individuals you serve have experienced. 

Please visit the link below before June 15, 2009 and share your thoughts and experiences:  DLAC Communications Survey.

If you prefer to have a paper copy of the survey, please let me know.  I will be happy to get that to you.  Additionally, if you, your family member, or someone you work with is currently having trouble with receiving accommodations for effective communication, please contact our agency’s Advocacy Assistance Unit at 1-800-342-1660 (TTY 888-852-2852) or at GetHelp@DLACTN.org 

Thank you for your time.  Your input is valuable.

Sincerely,
