Which action helps communication with individuals who require assistance such as a sign-language interpreter or closed-captioning?

• A. Arrange for communication assistance
• B. Ignore accessibility
• C. Only talk loudly
• D. Avoid interpreters

Answer: (A)

Ensuring communication is accessible so everyone can participate is the main idea here. Arranging for communication assistance directly provides the support needed for people who rely on sign-language interpretation or closed-captioning. When an interpreter translates spoken language into sign language or captions appear for spoken content, the person can understand, follow along, ask questions, and engage fully in the conversation. This approach respects their needs and helps deliver information accurately.

Choosing other options undermines access: ignoring accessibility leaves important information out, speaking loudly does not guarantee comprehension for someone who relies on visual or written text, and avoiding interpreters blocks the essential support that makes communication effective and inclusive.
