cbs2chicago.com - Airports Become More Accessible For Disabled
The Chicago Department of Aviation says Chicago’s airports are on their way to becoming more accessible for disabled travelers.
“Accessible kiosks” are coming to O’Hare International Airport as well as Midway Airport in 2008, according to a release from the CDA on Wednesday. The kiosks are wired with videophones, allowing deaf or hearing impaired travelers to communicate using sign language.
The kiosks will be wheelchair accessible and also provide travel information on a multilingual monitor, the release said.
The first kiosk will debut at O’Hare in Terminal 3 in early 2008. The CDA worked with the nonprofit group Communication Service for the Deaf on the kiosk project, the release said.
