Services for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing
Welcome to Inclusive Communication Services (ICS), where we believe that inclusion should be at the heart of every community. Sign language interpretation ensures equal communication access for Deaf, DeafBlind, and hard-of-hearing individuals. We accommodate communication style preferences to ensure an inclusive experience for both on-site interpreting and virtual events.
What is Sign Language Interpreting?
Sign language interpreting is the process of facilitating communication between spoken language speakers and sign language users. Skilled interpreters also convey intent, tone, emotions, and cultural nuances. At ICS, our certified and qualified interpreters possess a deep understanding of both spoken and signed languages, ensuring accurate, meaningful, and inclusive communication.
Sign Language Interpreting Services
ASL Interpreting
Did you know American Sign Language (ASL) is distinct from English with its own unique grammar and syntax?
ICS provides ASL interpreting services in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, all 50 U.S. states, and Canada. We also travel to cover international conferences and events.
Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)
All you need is a screen and internet to connect with a sign language interpreter virtually anywhere, anytime.
In today’s world of Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, digital and online accessibility is crucial for communication access. Interpreters can seamlessly join your virtual meetings and communicate in real-time.
Foreign Sign Language Interpreting
Just as spoken languages vary from one country to another, sign languages are also not universal.
ICS offers extensive sign language coverage for your diverse audience in international settings. Explore our Foreign Signed Language Catalog below, which includes International Sign (IS) and British Sign Language (BSL).

Overall Rating
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.

We have loved working with ICS and apprecaite their flexible approach to working with our budget. We are excited to have their services at our conference in Dallas next year!" The services have been game changing for what we are able to provide. Highly recommend.
ICS was wonderful! They provided feedback and support throughout the entire process, including sending interpreters prior to our ASL interpreted show. They also generously provided their expertise on all technical needs for the interpreters, including, lighting, placement, and script translation. I give them my highest recommendation for your ASL translation needs for your show!
Our company has been using Inclusive Communication Services for years at our annual conference. The team makes everything so easy for us. Their kind and clear communication leading up to the event and their prompt arrival each day makes the choice a no-brainer. They are experts at making special events accessible, and we are so grateful for their guidance and partnership! We will be calling them back for all our future needs!
Playing Dungeons & Dragons with ICS at the New York Comic Con was terrific. Accessible gaming with ICS really is a game changer! It was amazing to see the spirit, skill, and kindness of the staff while participating in a game where everyone was included thanks to the ICS interpreters, captioner and audio describer.
Very friendly, patient people pulling out all the stops to take care of those that need their help.
They provide an incredible service that helps serve our comic con guests who require accessibility assistance. Each member we spoke with was patient, empathetic, and supportive. We love their dedication towards making these large experiences possible for everyone to enjoy!
I had a great time! Really cool to have the inclusion and le more about asl as i played dnd
I enjoyed learning to play dnd at ICS’s booth at New York Comic Con. As a player, it was neat to experience different perspectives of Deaf and Blind players and DMs. ICS provided ASL interpreters, Audio Description and Captioing services, so I was able to fully participate with new friends as I am learning ASL. It was so much fun!
Wonderful interpretations, and had a wonderful chat with the individuals holding the NYCC ASL/inclusive D&D Oneshot about their other services and how they work ✨️
They are great! So helpful and inclusive. Had a wonderful time and felt so welcomed by everyone I met.
Visited the booth at New York Comic Con and got to learn about some inclusive resources and cultural experiences, especially about supports and accessibility for Deaf and HoH folks.
We signed together!!!!! I haven’t signed in years but that was so cool to bring that back to the front of my mind
Despite being in a noisy room, it didn't dampen the sense of communityness ICS brought together at the small booth area at NY Comic Con. I enjoyed some good vibe with their interpreters and fellow attendees
It was a wonderful way of connecting to other fans and geeks like me, who understand my struggles and help me to understand others’ better. Everyone running the booth was friendly and helpful and put me at ease as I can be shy at first.
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!
Great service, super professional and trustworthy interpreters. Thank you!
I cannot speak highly enough about Inclusive Communication Services and their exceptional work! I had the pleasure of seeing the ICS American Sign Language interpreting team at a conference in San Francisco. Their professionalism and expertise puts them in a league of their own. If you’re planning conferences or in need of a professional sign language accessibility partner, ICS is the answer. A true joy to partner with them. Shelby and her team set the standard for professionalism, coordination, and accessibility.
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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding interpreter!** provided excellent service—accurate, professional, and easy to work with. Highly recommend for anyone needing top-quality interpretation. Will hire again!
ICS provided top-quality ASL interpretation for our virtual and in-person comedy shows! Highly recommend working with them!
We love using ICS for ASL interpretation for our theater productions. The interpreters are always well-prepared and enthusiastic, and communicating with the ICS staff in advance of the event is easy & reliable.
ICS has a wonderful coordinator by the name of Aitana. She recently coordinated a team of captioners to close caption the Cannes Lions International Festival 2025, festival/conference Aitana made sure that accessibility/CART was the the forefront and knew what her team needed every session to do their best. Hooray for Aitana! Great job!
Aitana's communication skills are wonderful as she kept in touch with the CART providers and responded to questions promptly. She organized schedules and helped with technical/audio issues. This took her quick-thinking and problem-solving skills to resolve. Aitana is great to work with!
I love to see a Deaf interpreter on the stage at conferences! What an amazing experience for me! They are so supportive of the Deaf community, theatres, conferences, and more!
ICS is perfect for our event! This is the second year we have hired ICS to interpret the main stage of our Pocono Pride Festival. 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! ICS is professional, flexible, courteous, thorough, and incredibly friendly. We cant wait to work together for next year!
It was so nice to see ASL interpreting at Pocono Pride during the performances. It made it inclusive for everyone to enjoy the entertainment.
