Accessibility and DisabilityIt is the intent of the D.C. Courts to provide accessibility to services, programs and activities (offered by the D.C. Courts,) to any qualified participant, applicant, or member of the public with a disability, upon reasonable notice (when necessary) and without requiring action which would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of a service, program or activity or in undue financial or administrative burden.

D.C. Relay ServiceThe D.C. Relay Service facilitates communications between persons who use a text telephones (TTY) and persons who use a voice telephone. A person who is either deaf, hard-of-hearing, or speech disabled types his or her conversation using a TTY. A Communications Assistant at the D.C. Relay Service relays the written material from the TTY to the hearing person by reading it over a voice telephone. For the other end of the conversation the Communications Assistant relays the hearing person's spoken words verbatim by typing them to the TTY user. The D.C. Relay Service also has Communications Assistants who are bilingual (Spanish). The Communications Assistant is a trained professional in relaying conversations. The Communications Assistant maintains strict confidentiality about the conversation under professional ethics, company policy, and Federal Communications Commission regulations.
