Hands On
is aware of the continuing need to supply interpreters in all aspects of
business and daily living. Federal and State laws such as the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the California Rehabilitation Act of
1973 are but a few of the laws directly related to Deaf and Hard of Hearing
individuals. Continually acquiring certified and specialized interpreters
enables us to proceed in providing services for any and all areas of this
arena.
