My experience with Inclusive Communication Services has been terrific! From the last minute accommodation, professionalism, constant communication, and ensuring preparation eased any worries. This review is for Dani Whelan , who served as an interpreter for my grandfather’s homegoing service. She was amazing patient, respectful, and professional throughout the entire time. She was willing to stand and interpret by herself (a huge task) for 2 hours, ensuring I had full access to everything being said. I am truly grateful for her dedication and willingness to provide me with clear communication during such an emotional service. Thank you so much, Dani!

I recently worked on a few projects with Inclusive Communication Services as an interpreter, and it was truly a pleasure to work with Aitana. Her professionalism and kindness made a meaningful difference in my preparation for each assignment. Having a real person on the other side gave me the confidence that I needed, professionally and personally.

I had a great experience watching Murder on the Links at Two River Theater in New Jersey! The ASL interpretation, provided by Inclusive Communication Services, was fantastic. The two interpreters were energetic, clear, and worked beautifully as a team. Their placement in front of the stage made it easy to follow both the performance and the signing. I’m so grateful for accessible theater and inclusive experience — I’ll definitely recommend Inclusive Communication Services for future events!

Inclusive Communication Services did an amazing job at Cannes Lions Festival for me and my team. They treated us with so much kindness and made sure we had full access to interpreters the whole time. It honestly felt like everything was normal. I got all the information I needed, didn’t feel left out, and could actually enjoy the event without stressing. The team and interpreters were fun, friendly, and just really awesome to work with. Big thanks to all of them

Fantastic first ASL interpretation experience

Inclusive Communication Services was fantastic. They provided two ASL interpreters for a public, two-person artist talk at our small nonprofit exhibition space. Communication with the coordinating team was super quick and efficient responding to our inquiry and getting us set up, and the interpreters were fantastically warm and engaged with the content of our program. This was our first time providing ASL for a program and we will definitely use Inclusive Communication Services in the future as we work to improve our programming's accessibility.

They were incredibly easy to work with, we discussed ways to improve from last year, and they even sent a report on how we can improve again for next year! With hours of diverse entertainment, bands, drag shows, group performances, and announcements, ICS was ready to spread the word!
