Every day I
am thankful for the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, Section 508, FCC
captioning rules, the Air Carrier Access Act and the 21st Century
Communications and Video Accessibility Act.
I love being
able to watch captioned television. Captioned
movies both in the theater and on my DVD player are delightful and allow me to
enjoy entertainment with family and friends.
It is great
that when I am in a meeting or attending a lecture or public program, I can
have the services of a captionist to ensure I do not miss any nugget of wisdom.
ADA gave me
the ability to have my hearing dog with me wherever I go: work, restaurants,
theaters, museums, doctors’ offices…virtually anywhere. The Air Carrier Access Act gives me the OK to
have Terrific Dog with me on airplanes.
Thanks to
the ADA and other Federal rules, people with hearing loss and other
disabilities can function better in all aspects of life in the United States.
