What is it?
Sign language interpreting is the process of facilitating communication between spoken language speakers and sign language users. Skilled interpreters also convey intent, tone, emotions, and cultural nuances.
At ICS, our RID-certified and qualified interpreters possess a deep understanding of both spoken and signed languages, ensuring accurate, meaningful, and inclusive communication.
Who is it for?
Sign language interpretation ensures equal communication access for Deaf, DeafBlind, and hard-of-hearing individuals. This service benefits everyone, interpreters aren't just there for Deaf individuals, but also for hearing people who don't sign, making communication possible for all.
We accommodate communication style preferences to ensure an inclusive experience for both on-site interpreting and virtual events.
How we deliver
On-site, remote, or international — choose the modality that fits your audience and venue.
Did you know American Sign Language (ASL) is distinct from English with its own unique grammar and syntax? ICS provides ASL interpreting services in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, all 50 U.S. states, and Canada. We also travel to cover international conferences and events.
All you need is a screen and internet to connect with a sign language interpreter virtually anywhere, anytime. In today's world of Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, digital and online accessibility is crucial for communication access. Interpreters can seamlessly join your virtual meetings and communicate in real-time.
Just as spoken languages vary from one country to another, sign languages are also not universal. ICS offers extensive sign language coverage for your diverse audience in international settings.
