How could my need for a sign language interpreter cause a “fundamental alteration” of a government program?
In most cases, it wouldn’t. But if, for example, a city operates a planetarium and you request that the lights be left on so that you can see the sign language interpreter, that would require a fundamental alteration of the program since it’s essential that the planetarium is dark so that participants can see the display of lights. Just because the planetarium doesn’t have to leave all the lights on, though, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have to try to make the program accessible. Maybe the sign language interpreter could be illuminated by a flash light in a small part of the space without fundamentally altering the program.
