Question

A Federally assisted disaster relief program is trying to streamline its services and provide one-stop shopping for residents with special needs. As part of this effort, program planners decide to coordinate all “special” services, such as language interpreters, sign language interpreters, and readers for the visually impaired, at a single facility at the edge of town. Individuals who require these services must therefore travel farther than other residents. Providing services in this way:
A. Is a good strategy because it improves overall services and provides needed services to persons with special needs.
B. Is acceptable because there is no intent to discriminate.
C. Is discriminatory because it serves persons with disabilities and limited English proficiency in a different manner than the rest of the population.
D. Is permissible only if the facility is located on a major public transportation route

Answer 1

Based on the given situation above for those people who have special needs to be attended to, I can say that the business presented is very beneficial, but what makes it disadvantageous is the distance that will require these people with special needs to travel far. Therefore, this can only be permissible if the facility is located on a major public transportation route. Answer is D.
