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.

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.
