I suggest contacting a family law attorney. A call from him or her to Ms Whatley will likely clarify the situation quickly. We tested the USA's ADA law last year. The Americans with Disabilities Act. My husband is deaf, and we requested sign interpreters for a series of 2 and 3 day conferences we attended as part of my son's high risk teen program in 2004 and 2005. After numerous phone calls and emails, what finally got us the result we needed was to enroll the services of a disability law attorney. There are many good laws in place. Sadly many need to be tested and enforced in less than optimal ways in real life.
