Sign language interpreting can cover a range of services, all of which Access provides – general interpreting (basic or core interpreting), specialized interpreting (very specific or technical in nature), and/or cleared interpreting (in which an interpreter has to go through a client’s clearance process or hold a specific security clearance). Our services also include Deaf interpreting, emergency interpreting, and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) services (VRI is outlined in more detail below).

Access accommodates the following sign languages and communication modes: American Sign Language (ASL), Manually Coded English, Pidgin Signed English, international sign languages, and gestures. We also provide language facilitation services through Deaf interpreters, including tactile and/or close-vision interpretation for the Deaf-Blind and conference platform relay interpretation for large groups.

Access provides its sign language interpreting services on a regularly scheduled basis (during regular business hours), scheduled after core business hours, or on short notice (usually used for last minute requirements or in an emergency).

Real Time Captioning (CART) allows individuals or groups who are Deaf or Heard of Hearing

CART accommodates D/HH individuals who prefer to participate in one-on-one (individual) or group meetings, training, and conferences by viewing information in written English. Group meetings usually require CART services with the use of overhead, projection, or big screens.

Depending on the requested meeting environment, with the appropriate audio and visual equipment in place, those services can be provided on-site or remotely.

Access provides CART services for an individual or for a group (using an overhead projection or big screen). Services can be in-person or remote; regularly scheduled or last-minute.

Access provides its Real Time Captioning services in numerous ways to accommodate clients:
