I hate being forceful; it's not my strong suit. I was thinking about sending the following email in response to his 'there won't be a terp unless the band brings one' -- do you think it's ok?
Hi Aaron,
I'd like to formally request a terp please, under section III of the ADA:
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires businesses open to the public to ensure that individuals with a disability have equal access to all that the businesses have to offer. ADA Title III covers a wide range of places of public accommodation, including retail stores and the wide range of service businesses such as hotels, theaters, restaurants, doctors' and lawyers' offices, optometrists, dentists, banks, insurance agencies, museums, parks, libraries, day care centers, recreational programs, social service agencies, and private schools. It covers both profit and non-profit organizations.
I'll be attending the May 31st show -- please let me know where to go to meet up with the interpreter, and if you need any additional information.
Thanks for your help,
