[civsa] Disability Services

[Dustin Castro]

Hey there,

Hopefully the guest alerts us in advance. If they do, we coordinate on
their behalf with our Services for Students with Disabilities department,
and we pay for the interpreters. We provide the ASL interpreters for both
the information session and the tour.

We also typically get a handful of these requests each year.
