Re: Interpreter requirement for deaf patients
Based upon the information that you have supplied it appears that you may have a claim against the "sole practitioner," who would be required under Title III of the ADA to provide you with an interpretor if necessary for "effective communication."
I need more information to be certain. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] for more information.
