What does ADA Title IV pertain to?

ADA Title IV pertains to telecommunications, specifically addressing the needs and accessibility for individuals with hearing and speech disabilities. This title mandates that telecommunications services, such as telephone communication, be accessible to all, including requiring the provision of relay services that enable people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have speech disabilities to communicate effectively over telephone lines.

Title IV ensures that there are provisions in place for these individuals to receive the same level of service and access to communication as those without disabilities. The emphasis is on effective communication methods, which might include text telephones (TTY) and other assistive technologies, allowing for an inclusive approach in telecommunications that directly supports the rights of people with disabilities.
