Welcome to Inclusive Communication Services

We had a wonderful experience working with Shelby and Inclusive Communication Services for a second time for our theatre performances. Just like the first time, Shelby was incredibly communicative and friendly, and helped secure interpreters who were the right fit for the show. The interpreters took the time to get to know the show really well and clearly put a lot of care into the work. It was a joy to collaborate with them to make the show more accessible and we hope to do so again soon on a future production!

Inclusive Communication Services were wonderful when I reached out to them. They responded quickly to questions and provided the best services possible. With so many interpreters of spoken language and ASL, they're the best option to anyone who may need interpreting services.

ICS was amazing, I had the pleasure of emailing with Shelby who was lovely and so responsive. We had Tyler and Anita interpreting for our event, and they were both skilled, kind, and well-versed. ICS offers amazing services. I highly recommend, we will most definitely use them again.

We had an exceptional experience working with Inclusive Communication Services on a big event last June. They were generous partners for our benefit fundraiser, with a very clear process for preparing the interpreters with the songs they were interpreting. The staff at ICS along with the interpreters carried themselves with the utmost professionalism, adaptability, and friendliness. We look forward to working with them again!

The ICS team provided excellent and dynamic service to our event. Our show combined the poetic rock musical Hair with lively activist speeches. ICS took our event to the next level, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

Inclusive Communication Services was a joy to work with. Their communications were informative and timely. Not only do they do important work for the deaf community but they helped our organization expand our patronage to include the deaf community. It is The Barn Players wish to not exclude anyone from the magic of live theatre. Inclusive Communication Services made that happen.

ICS has been an amazing partner for the past several years. Most recently, they provided onsite ASL services for the New Year's Eve Ball Drop in Times Square as well as on our free livestream. They also provided ASL services for all 7 classes of our all day yoga event on June 20, 2024. They are professional and dependable!

I love my sweatshirt from ICS and I especially love that their swag shop proceeds support their work with nonprofits! Win win!

The team was really supportive in helping us find excellent, well-matched interpreters for a 2 week program and helping us fill last-minute gaps in our schedule when some non-ICS interpreters canceled. Very responsive, patient, and professional!

I discovered Inclusive ASL through a referral from a colleague in the industry, and they have proven to be reliable partners for translation and interpretation services. I've been a client for over a year now, and I am always confident in the exceptional quality and timely delivery of their services. I’m glad to be doing business with them.

The team at ICS provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. We greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness of the ASL interpreters, their professional manners, and IT savviness. Delighted to be a partner with ICS and look forward to future projects.

What a wonderful service! They are so supportive of the Deaf community and theatre too!

What an amazing addition to Comicon! To have a place where people of all backgrounds can gather and experience the glorious pastime that is D&D! ICS truly lives up to its name and I'm eternally grateful to have had this experience!

ICS not only provided essential services at the New York Comic-Con, but created a welcoming space for gamers of all walks of life. I enjoyed quality audio description alongside other gamers with disabilities, and not only felt included but felt valued and part of a growing community. I would love to see similar spaces at more Comic-Cons in the future.

So great to see deaf services and community at new york comic con!

First time seeing an actual INCLUSIVE gaming space. So cool to game in a tactile way. Such a unique gaming experience!

Thank you so much ICS for providing incredible accessible spaces and opportunities for gaming at comic con! It was wonderful talking to you all at your booth! Thank you for being here and the work that you do! So excited to game with you again!

Awsome people i learned so much

I learned so much at this event and look forward to sharing what I learned.

Amazing time and experience. Can’t wait for next year.

Super nice people, very friendly!

Great Photo Booth! We love it!

Fun!

Working with ICS was a pleasure from start to finish. They responded quickly to my inquiry and were able to provide a competent interpreter for a major charity event. The interpreter arrived on time and was prepared for the job, which was executed in excellence.

This internship was a great experience! I especially loved that my program was led by a Deaf coordinator, who worked hard to make sure my time at this agency was great. The interpreters that I worked with were happy to work with me, as well as provided constructive feedback for me as someone who is just beginning in this industry.

Great quality studio recording and provides accessible media services!

We worked with ICS on our company's annual fundraising Gala -- which included not only speeches but interpretations of song performances. They were wonderful to work with, highly adaptable to our needs and wonderfully warm and supportive in their services! Thanks to all who helped us with our special night!

We had three sign language interpreters and one CART captioner attend our event in September 2024 and they were absolutely fantastic.

Worked with them to promote an accessible event we were hosting, and they were very helpful. Their Access New York calendar is a fantastic resource for finding accessible events in the area!

Inclusive Communication went above and beyond to work within our budget. IC is the most affordable ASL interpreting service I have worked with. Shelby at IC also went above and beyond in her understanding and dedication to providing interpreters from a specific identity group. IC made booking very straightforward and were very responsive to all questions and requests. Thank you Inclusive Communication!!

We value the ICS calendar as a bridge to reach our community for our accesible off-broadway events. Thank you for having this tool!

Inclusive Communications Services (ICS) has been an invaluable partner for our organization for the past three years. As a Black-led organization serving the Black community and people of color, it is crucial for us to ensure that our events are accessible to everyone, which is why we prioritize having ASL interpretation available. ICS has consistently provided us with top-notch ASL interpreters, and we appreciate their commitment to connecting us with interpreters of color who can better resonate with our community. The staff at ICS is not only professional and reliable but also incredibly personable. Their dedication to understanding our specific needs and providing tailored services has made working with them a seamless and enjoyable experience. We wholeheartedly trust ICS to deliver exceptional interpreting services for our events, and we couldn't recommend them more highly. If you are looking for a reliable, inclusive, and personable ASL interpreting organization, ICS is the way to go.

The folks at Inclusive Communication Services were quick to respond when we had a late request for ASL interpreter services for our event. Community is important and ensuring that everyone in our community feels that they are included helps ensure our success. Thank you to Shelby, Noel, and our interpreters for helping to make sure that our event was accessible for our deaf/heard of hearing attendees.

Great service and accommodated our short notice request!

Inclusive Communication Services provided CART captioning for two screenings at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival this year and I could not be more impressed and thrilled with their services. Their response time to my inquiry was quick, they are very professional and detailed oriented and requested a lot of preliminary information before the event to be prepared for what we were providing to our audiences. I will use this service for all of my events in the future.

We use ICS interpreters for our professional working group's quarterly virtual meetings. Shelby and Noel are great to work with, and the assigned interpreters have consistently been friendly, professional, clear, and accurate. We appreciate the work ICS does to make our meetings accessible!

ICS is an incredible organization that serves the deaf community. We reached out to them with little execution time and they not only delivered but over-delivered. Wr are very happy with their services. Christian Parker Executive Director, Gay & Sober

Working with the ICS team was a delight. We booked ICS for our community Pride Festival and they were an outstanding addition to our event. Many community members appreciated having interpreters for the event, and we are so happy to have found ICS. They were absolutely the right people for the job. Incredibly professional and flexible, and a delight to be around and work with. We will absolutely have them back at our event next year, and hopefully every year after! All of the interpreters were professional and had great energy. ICS is an absolute must for your community events and more!
