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.

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.

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.
