In this epsiode of the ATA Podcast, guests Olivia Caputo and Jamie Hartz tell us about Language Access Cards, a free downloadable resource from ATA that Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals can present in settings like hospitals and courtrooms to request assistance in their language and to prompt language services providers for assistance with language access resources. Historically, federal agencies and organizations that receive government funding have had to take reasonable steps to assist those who are LEP. If an agency or organization does not assist those who are LEP, it may be violating the law. ATA wants to help you access these services in your language!
