Language Connections has spent nearly three decades as an ASL service provider for clients who are either deaf, hard of hearing, or who work directly with members of the sign language community. Our professional sign language interpreting and translation teams have a deep understanding of the needs of this community, as well as the businesses and organizations that communicate with them. Over the years, we have become a trusted partner to various clients who require certified sign language interpreters, video subtitling services, closed captioning, and more.

Maintaining Federal Compliance
Providing sign language interpreting services for deaf individuals is a standard regulatory requirement in the United States. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires the procurement of interpretation services for the deaf and hard of hearing for a variety of professional settings. Even when it is not specifically required by law, investing in ASL interpreting services is still highly recommended. Additionally, providing sign language interpreting services sends the message that your organization cares about guaranteeing communication access for different communities.
