In short

We serve everyone without discrimination, whatever their race, color, national origin, language, religion, sex, age or disability.
Ask each participant which language they prefer. If they need an interpreter, the office arranges one free of charge.
Do not ask family members, and never children, to interpret, except for a short time in an emergency.
People who are deaf or hard of hearing can use Relay Missouri, sign language interpreters or written information in large print.
Tell the office if a participant asks for a change because of a disability. The supervisor decides quickly.
