District government agencies will provide auxiliary aids and services when necessary to ensure that communication with individuals with vision, hearing, and speech disabilities is as effective as communication with nondisabled individuals. No fee will be charged for auxiliary aids. 

Auxiliary aids and services include:

• Sign language interpreters, written materials or notes, TTYs, or assistive listening devices
• Braille, large print, taped, or electronic documents
• Accepting and placing calls through the TTY Relay Service (7-1-1)

The following word document should be visible in all areas (reception desks, call stations, lobbies, etc.) where agency employees will interact with DC residents and individuals with disabilities. Please contact the Office of Disability Rights with any inquiries or questions: ODR@dc.gov; (202)724-5055 (V); (202)727-3363 (TTY).
