The goal of the ADA is to make it possible for people with disabilities to participate in the everyday commercial, economic, and social activities of American life.
Generally, a sign language interpreter is required when a customer’s primary method of communication is sign language and the information is so complex or lengthy that sign language is required to communicate effectively.
Under the IRS tax code, a tax credit is available to offset the cost of hiring an interpreter. Contact your accountant or the IRS for more information about these ADA tax incentives.
Everyone benefits when businesses give customers with disabilities an equal opportunity to obtain their goods and services.
