Who typically is responsible for paying for communication access services?
In the United States, the financial responsibility for providing accessibility services is guided by federal laws in the United States, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
The venue where you provide communication access determines which laws apply and who pays for the services.
EDUCATION
In educational environments, transcription services are often managed and paid for by the Disability Support Services of the institution.
Some institutions employ staff transcribers, while others contract with freelance transcribers or agencies.
WORKFORCE
Employers, especially those with 15 or more employees, are required by law to offer reasonable accommodations for disabilities, barring undue hardship.
As such, these services are typically coordinated by the employer’s Human Resources department.
