Welcome to Words for the Eyes, LLC
_________
Words for the Eyes is more than a sign language interpreting and consulting company. We cultivate long-term relationships with our clients and establish a communications partnership. Our clients know that we never fill requests for services by sending the first available interpreter. Rather, we act as communication allies for our clients by analyzing our list of talented interpreters and carefully selecting the most appropriate individual for the job. Factors we consider include the following:
Relevant interpreting laws
Interpreter credentials and experience
Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing and Hearing consumer preferences
Interpreter proximity to job location
If you think your company could benefit from gaining a communications ally, please contact us to request an evaluation copy of our rates and policies.
