Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, people who are deaf or hard of hearing should be given what compared to the rest of the population?

• A. Extra Services
• B. Same Services
• C. Fewer Services
• D. No Services

Answer: (B)

The principle here is equal access under the Americans with Disabilities Act. People who are deaf or hard of hearing should be able to use the same services as everyone else, with reasonable accommodations to remove barriers to access. In practice, this means the service itself is the same, but you provide things like sign language interpreters, captioning, or assistive listening devices to ensure they can participate fully. Providing more than what others receive isn’t the baseline requirement, and giving fewer or no services would violate the ADA.
