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
The team was really supportive in helping us find excellent, well-matched interpreters for a 2 week program and helping us fill last-minute gaps in our schedule when some non-ICS interpreters canceled. Very responsive, patient, and professional!
I discovered Inclusive ASL through a referral from a colleague in the industry, and they have proven to be reliable partners for translation and interpretation services. I've been a client for over a year now, and I am always confident in the exceptional quality and timely delivery of their services. I’m glad to be doing business with them.
The team at ICS provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. We greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness of the ASL interpreters, their professional manners, and IT savviness. Delighted to be a partner with ICS and look forward to future projects.
What a wonderful service! They are so supportive of the Deaf community and theatre too!
What an amazing addition to Comicon! To have a place where people of all backgrounds can gather and experience the glorious pastime that is D&D! ICS truly lives up to its name and I'm eternally grateful to have had this experience!
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.
So great to see deaf services and community at new york comic con!
First time seeing an actual INCLUSIVE gaming space. So cool to game in a tactile way. Such a unique gaming experience!
Thank you so much ICS for providing incredible accessible spaces and opportunities for gaming at comic con! It was wonderful talking to you all at your booth! Thank you for being here and the work that you do! So excited to game with you again!
I learned so much at this event and look forward to sharing what I learned.
Flexible and Responsive!
We had a very positive experience working with Inclusive Communication Services. They were flexible and responsive to our needs for our annual fundraising Gala, which was a musical theater program featuring both speeches and song lyrics. The interpreters they provided were wonderful and added so much to our special event : )
Working with ICS was a pleasure from start to finish. They responded quickly to my inquiry and were able to provide a competent interpreter for a major charity event. The interpreter arrived on time and was prepared for the job, which was executed in excellence.
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. The interpreters that I worked with were happy to work with me, as well as provided constructive feedback for me as someone who is just beginning in this industry.
Great quality studio recording and provides accessible media services!
We worked with ICS on our company's annual fundraising Gala -- which included not only speeches but interpretations of song performances. They were wonderful to work with, highly adaptable to our needs and wonderfully warm and supportive in their services! Thanks to all who helped us with our special night!
We had three sign language interpreters and one CART captioner attend our event in September 2024 and they were absolutely fantastic.
Wonderful, accessible services
Inclusive ASL is responsive, helpful, kind, and they have provided our clients with excellent interpretation. They go the extra mile to accommodate each client's individual needs, and they make it such a smooth and easy process to work with them. I can't recommend their services more highly!
Worked with them to promote an accessible event we were hosting, and they were very helpful. Their Access New York calendar is a fantastic resource for finding accessible events in the area!
Affordable + Amazing ASL Services! Would recommend
Inclusive Communication went above and beyond to work within our budget. IC is the most affordable ASL interpreting service I have worked with. Shelby at IC also went above and beyond in her understanding and dedication to providing interpreters from a specific identity group. IC made booking very straightforward and were very responsive to all questions and requests. Thank you Inclusive Communication!!
