Deaf or Hard of Hearing Accessibility

JVAA-hosted tournaments are accessible to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, including players and/or their companions, and including their parents/guardians. JVAA will provide qualified sign language interpreters and/or auxiliary aids and services to ensure equal access at JVAA-hosted tournaments.  Any deaf or hard of hearing player who is requesting a qualified sign language interpreter and/or auxiliary aids for services must provide reasonable written notice to JVAA of such request. “Reasonable notice” shall be defined as at least seven (7) days.  If less than seven (7) days’ notice is provided, JVAA will not be able to guarantee the provision of the requested sign language interpreter or auxiliary aids but shall still make reasonable efforts to procure such accommodations.
