Even if it means the deaf needs to provide their own translator. Sophia tried telling me this was not allowed. Regardless, all places of business are required to do this.

Perhaps you're speaking of some legislation other than the ADA or the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  Regardless, I'm pleased that they were able to resolve this for you so quickly!

It was in the ADA act. Sophia tried to say alternatives, including having my own provided interpreter was not allowed. They changed their mind and are now in compliance.

Any place open to the public, cannot deny reasonable accomondation and mine was to let me use my own translator for the touchstone. They said no to that. I asked ACE, ACE said they need to let me. Sophia changed their mind and said they can make an exception for me.
