CSD — a nationally renowned private nonprofit deaf and hard of hearing service organization — has entered into a partnership with BarZ Adventures to further CSD's mission of creating access, independence and awareness for their deaf and hard of hearing constituents. Now, as BarZ Adventures continues to create tours at other public venues around the nation, CSD will assist those venues in meeting the guidelines set forth by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA is a landmark civil rights law passed with strong bi-partisan support that creates accessibility requirements and standards for public and private businesses. The act prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, programs and services which has come to be interpreted to include tours, educational and interpretive content available at venues such as theme parks, zoos, and museums.

Because the script is originally developed in English, the act of translating the tour into ASL is a simple, efficient and cost-effective means of meeting ADA guidelines, since the interpreter only needs to be recorded signing the available script/tour. The GPS Ranger also includes a captioning option, for those deaf and hard of hearing individuals who do not use ASL as their primary mode of communication.
