DISABILITY RIGHTS (ADA)

  • How does the ADA apply to my organization?

    You can file an ADA Complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice alleging disability discrimination against a State or local government or a public accommodation (including, for example, a restaurant, doctor’s office, retail store, hotel, etc.) online, by mail, or fax.
  • I suspected that I am being discriminated in my workplace. Who should I contact to file a complaint?
    You can file a complaint with the U.S. Equal Opportunities Commission if you believe you have been discriminated against by an employer, labor union, or employment agency when applying for a job or while on the job because of your deafness.
