Which of the following is an example of an accessibility accommodation mentioned?

• A. Providing qualified readers
• B. Reducing court hours
• C. Eliminating ADA compliance for some cases
• D. Removing all barriers without any accommodations

Answer: (A)

Accessibility accommodations ensure people with disabilities can participate in court proceedings on an equal basis. Providing a qualified reader directly removes a barrier by enabling a participant who has difficulty reading written materials to access the information needed for the case. A qualified reader is trained to read documents aloud or otherwise assist with reading in a way that preserves the fairness of the process and the ability to understand what’s happening in court.

The other options don’t fit as accommodations: reducing court hours can limit access rather than remove barriers; eliminating ADA compliance for some cases would violate protections and reduce access; and removing all barriers without providing accommodations ignores the needs of individuals who require help to access information.
