From: Jamie Wilms<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, July 17, 2015 11:36 AM To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Good Morning all! I wanted to toss this question out there to my fellow colleagues. We are a historic house museum that offers guided tours of the museum. This year, we have had an increase of tour requests from hearing impaired groups. Many times, they will bring their own interpreters which is helpful but at times they do not. We are trying to determine policy this matter so we are prepared for our visitors. I have looked on the ADA website but would like to first-hand information from other museums. What accommodations have other museums done for hearing impaired guests during guided tours? If you provide an interpreter, how much do they usually charge if anything? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks much!
