APPENDIX B: USE OF ACCESS SYMBOLS
 |
International Access Symbol |
The International Access Symbol may be used for two purposes. In pre-event publicity, this symbol should be used to indicate that an event is being held in a wheelchair accessible location. At appropriate event locations, this symbol should direct people to accessible features of a facility or to access information. A photocopy of the symbol enlarged for 8 ½ " x 11" paper, mounted on cardboard, is an acceptable means of reproducing the symbol for use at events.
 |
Teletypewriter Device for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
(TDD) |
A TDD is a keyboard device that transmits typed messages over phone lines. The TDD symbol may be appropriately used in pre-event publicity to indicate a TDD phone number that can be called for information or accommodation requests, if such a device is available.
 |
Assistive Listening Devices |
Assistive Listening Devices are headsets that amplify or filter sound. The symbol for Assistive Listening Devices should be used in pre-event publicity to indicate that an event will be held in one of the Ithaca College auditoriums equipped for assistive listening devices, and to indicate how people may reserve/request them.
 |
Sign Language Interpreters |
Pre-event publicity should invite participants to request sign language interpreters in advance of an event. However, if it is known that sign language interpreters will be available at an event, then the symbol should be used in event publicity.
