Dealing with public administration Supporting deaf or deaf-blind people by dealing with PA Special law focused on rights of deaf and deaf-blind people (Act No. 155/1998 Coll. on sign language) According to this law, these persons have a right: To have support when dealing with public administration, e.g. by the court, dealing with public administration or doctor´s visits. To choose a communication tool according to their needs such as: Sign language Braille signs STTR (Speech to Text Reporting)

Using subtitles in TV programming According to the law (Act No. 231/2001 Coll. on radio and TV broadcasting) there is an obligation to ensure sub-titles/sign-languages interpretation: by 70% of programmes for public broadcasters (Czech TV) by 15% of programmes for private broadcasters (Nova, Prima etc.)

Accessible website According to the law (Act No. 365/2000 Coll. on public administration information systems), all public authorities shall provide on-line information in a form that allows for people with disabilities to access it. Web-accessibility guidelines published by the Ministry of Interior provides 33 rules based on WCAG 2.0. Keeping rules is regularly checked (manual control) by the ministry. The new topic: How to ensure web-accessibility not only within public administration but also on other websites, especially in the view of implementing UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Conclusions Deployment of assistive technologies and their use in the daily life is not possible without legislation support as well as financial support. The governments play the crucial role in both issues.
