Who is responsible for providing an interpreter? –

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses, medical providers, government agencies, and other public entities are generally responsible for providing and paying for effective communication, including qualified interpreters.

How far in advance should I book? +

As early as you can. One to two weeks gives us the best chance of matching your preferred interpreter. For urgent or same-day needs, call or text us directly.

What is a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI)? +

A CDI is a Deaf interpreter who works alongside a hearing interpreter. CDIs are often used in legal and medical settings, with DeafBlind consumers, or when someone uses regional, foreign, or nonstandard signing.
