Accessibility & Communication

Request Services

We create resources that help improve health literacy and health outcomes for our deaf communities by providing high-quality healthcare information in American Sign Language (ASL), with additional accessibility features for broader inclusivity. From translation to dissemination, we ensure that vital health information is easily accessible and comprehensible.

“I want to thank you and everyone else it took to put this together. I have been so frustrated trying to get answers to my questions for well over a month now. This was done well and easy to understand. I find it difficult to believe that other groups haven’t done something like this a long time ago. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!”
