On May 31, 2011, the Justice Department's Disability Rights Section and Office of the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California entered into a comprehensive settlement agreement with Wells Fargo & Company. Under the Agreement, Wells Fargo will pay up to $16 million to compensate individuals who experienced discrimination in violation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) when trying to call Wells Fargo, access Wells Fargo's services, or visit one of Wells Fargo's retail stores.

We have a vacancy on our advisory committee at the Public Utility Commission (PUC). We are seeking someone who is deaf or hard of hearing to advise us on the following 3 programs that affect the individuals with disabilities and/or persons who are low-income:
Telecommunication Devices Access Program (TDAP)
Oregon Telephone Assistance Program (OTAP)
Oregon Telecommunications Relay Service (OTRS)
It’s a two-year volunteer commitment and meetings are held twice a year in March and September at the PUC. We reimburse for mileage and lodging, when applicable. For additional information, please visit http://www.puc.state.or.us/PUC/news/2011/2011005.shtml.
We are aware that many from the deaf and hard of hearing community are no longer relying on TTYs and the traditional relay service to make and receive phone calls. We realize most are using videophones, etc. to make and receive calls via the Video Relay Service. However, it does not prevent a committee member from suggesting other types of available equipment for access to the phone. For instance, we now loan speech generating devices based on the recommendation of a former committee member who had a speech impairment. We welcome a dedicated and motivated individual who is willing to advise us on how we can enhance our services to the population they represent, especially as we strive to adapt to evolving technology.

Great educational videos in ASL, recommend that the community check this out:
The Getting a Job! website was developed and designed for students who are deaf or hard of hearing transitioning to work and the professionals who work with them. The website offers a series of topical videos accompanied by supporting documents and related materials, educator's guides and role model videos. ASL is the source language for these videos. They are also captioned and voiced in English.
Take a look!
