These symbols are often used to show that accessibility is available for people with disabilities. Here is more information about each one. |
 |
Telephone Typewriter (TTY) -- This symbol indicates that TTY is available. A TTY is a telephone device used with the telephone (and the phone number) for communication between deaf, hard of hearing, speech-disabled and/or hearing persons. In the past TTY has also been called text telephone (TT), or telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD). |

Live Audio Description -- A service for people who are blind or have low vision that makes the performing and visual arts more accessible. A trained Audio Describer offers live commentary or narration (via headphones and a small transmitter) consisting of concise, objective descriptions of visual elements (for example, a theater performance or a visual arts exhibition at a museum). |
 |
Access for Individuals Who are Blind or Have Low Vision (Other Than Print or Braille) -- This symbol may be used to indicate access for people who are blind or have low vision, including a guided tour; a path to a nature trail or a scent garden in a park; and a tactile tour or a museum exhibition that may be touched. |
 |
Volume Control Telephone -- This symbol indicates the location of telephones that have handsets with amplified sound and/or adjustable volume controls. |
 |
Assistive Listening Systems or Devices -- These systems transmit sound via hearing aids or headsets. They include infrared, loop and FM systems. Portable systems may be available from the same audiovisual equipment suppliers that service conferences and meetings. |
 |
Braille Symbol -- This symbol indicates that printed matter is available in Braille, including exhibition labeling, publications and signage. |
