American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreting Services
Professional Communication Access for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Individuals
EPIC provides professional American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting for government agencies, courts, educational institutions, healthcare organizations and other organizations requiring effective communication access.
ASL services can be coordinated on-site or through video remote interpreting (VRI), with qualified interpreters selected according to assignment requirements, credentials, availability and setting.
Through EPIC’s Staffing Resources Hub (SRH), organizations can centralize interpreting requests, scheduling, assignment coordination and service visibility across departments and locations.
Professional ASL Access for Institutional Environments
Effective ASL interpreting requires more than simply arranging an interpreter. Organizations must consider the communication setting, interpreter qualifications, service modality, scheduling requirements and continuity of access.
EPIC coordinates ASL interpreting for institutional environments where professionalism, impartiality, confidentiality and reliable communication access are essential.

On-Site and Video Remote ASL Interpreting
Different interactions require different approaches to communication access. EPIC coordinates both on-site ASL interpreting and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI), allowing organizations to select the modality appropriate to the interaction, setting and participants.
On-Site ASL Interpreting
Professional ASL interpreters attend the assignment in person for interactions where physical presence is appropriate or required.
Video Remote ASL Interpreting
ASL interpreting delivered through live video when remote visual communication is appropriate for the interaction and participants.
