The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is a law that was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1990. It was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H. W. Bush, and later amended with changes effective January 1, 2009.
The ADA is a wide-ranging civil rights law that prohibits, under certain circumstances, discrimination based on disability.
To serve our deaf and hard of hearing clients, Macon County DSS complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Macon County DSS has purchased a communications device called UbiDuo. UbiDuo meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other laws that ensure no individual with a disability shall be treated differently due to the absence of auxiliary aids and services.
If you are hearing impaired and need help in communicating with your worker, please let the front customer service staff know this upon arrival. They will share this information with the caseworker who will be assisting you.
