Ontario Human Rights Commission’s Policy and Guideline on Disability & the Duty To Accommodate of The Ontario Human Rights Code states that 'duty to accommodate' is the legal obligation that employers, unions, landlords, and service providers have under the Code to meet the needs of persons with disabilities," according to the Ontario Human Rights Code. The Code recognizes sign language interpreting, including the use of Deaf interpreters, as an accommodation; hence, providing signed language interpreting is required by law. A deaf person's human rights are violated when qualified interpreters are unavailable or not paid for. Remember that barriers might be more than just physical. Preventing "ableism," or societal beliefs that minimize and undervalue the potential of people with disabilities, will foster respect, dignity, and the full participation of persons with disabilities in the life of the community.
