Which of the following is an example of an auxiliary aid or service to achieve effective communication?

• A. Ramps with handrails
• B. Sign language interpreters
• C. Elevator controls
• D. Parking spaces

Answer: (B)

An auxiliary aid or service is anything that helps a person with a disability understand or receive information, ensuring effective communication. A sign language interpreter provides real-time interpretation of spoken language into sign language, making conversations, presentations, or instructions accessible for someone who is deaf or hard of hearing. The other options focus on physical access or mobility rather than communication. So the example that achieves effective communication is a sign language interpreter.
