A company’s provision of a sign language interpreter to help a deaf employee read video files is a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held Thursday.
A majority of the circuit said the refusal of IBM to take the extra step of providing captions for videos for software engineer Alfred Noll did not run afoul of the act or the New York State Human Rights Law.
