How It All Started...
Inclusive Communication Service was the inspiration of two interpreters, Tyler Herron and Shelby Edwards, who developed from students to professionals in New York City. Cultivating a knowledge of minority-sensitive and multiple disability interpreting, the colleagues recognized how these and other subcultural communities continued to be overlooked and overgeneralized in contemporary accommodation practices.
Tyler and Shelby sought to improve inclusion for those with hearing and vision disabilities and the Limited English Proficient (LEP) in their community by creating an agency that would consider each accommodation consumer’s complete identity and language profile assigning the optimal interpreter, translator, or caption provider to match their needs. In 2016, Shelby and Tyler co-founded Inclusive Communication Services with a commitment to providing affordable, holistic, and reliable accommodation solutions in New York City.
Since its start, Inclusive Communication Services has expanded its accommodation services throughout the Northeast, becoming a dependable community resource for holistic and economic accessibility solutions. ICS continues to raise the bar for the accommodation profession through industry-leading commitments to ethical services, continued professional development, provider-friendly contracting, and community-supportive initiatives.
ICS is endlessly grateful to the New York Deaf, Blind, and LEP communities, without whom we would not have grown to where we are today!
