Guest guest Posted August 20, 2000 Report Share Posted August 20, 2000 I will be calling these people in the morning. Thought maybe some of the rest of you could use this information. Wish me luck. I don't want to upset the apple cart until I know what to expect. I do know the telephone/TDD thing applies. I have no idea about beds, but expect to find out. If they don't have to get me a special bed I guess we are back to the park bench. Hotline Provides Technical Assistance on the Americans with Disabilities Act The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a Federal non-discrimination law that gives civil rights protection to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations (such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, retail stores, etc.), employment (for businesses with 15 or more employees), transportation, state and local government activities, and telecommunications. Persons interested in finding out more about the Americans with Disabilities Act can contact the ADA Technical Assistance Hotline, operated by the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund at 1- (voice/TDD). This Department of Justice funded information line, free to callers, is able to provide technical assistance and informational materials to persons with disabilities, businesses, state and local government agencies, and the general public to help them understand their rights and responsibilities under Titles II (state and local government activities) and III (public accommodations) of the ADA. The hotline operates from 9:00 to 5:00 Pacific Time. For on-line publications and additional information about the ADA, contact the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Transportation Home Page For more information, call 1- (Voice/TDD).
