Auxiliary aids 


[ch 7: pages 224-225]

Section 20(5), EA 10 refers to auxiliary aids. It says that where a disabled person would, but for the availability of an auxiliary aid such as adapted telephone or computer equipment, text to speech software, or a sign language interpreter, be at a substantial disadvantage, an employer must take all reasonable steps to provide the aid, for example, providing information in an accessible format.
