How do I request an interpreter or CART services?
In most situations, the Americans with Disabilities Act places the responsibility on the service provider to arrange effective communication access. If you are Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing, or Late-Deafened and need communication access, contact the agency or organization that is providing the event or service.
If you are a provider and you wish to procure communication access services such as computer-aided real time transcription (CART), ASL/English interpreting, DeafBlind interpreting, or Deaf interpreting, we have compiled a list of resources, available here. It is necessary to ensure that any communication access provider that is hired for an assignment has the appropriate qualifications and credentials to do the task.
For court sessions, communication access is arranged by the Court. Contact the clerk’s office to request accommodations.
