"Your Communication Solution"

Interpreting Services: ASL, Inc. has focused on providing quality Interpreting “Communication Solutions” since 1995 for both those who purchase our services and those who utilize our services. We provide business and organizations with on-site Interpreters 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. Our team includes over 200 professional sign language Interpreters who serve organizations and businesses not only in New Jersey, but also in bordering areas of Pennsylvania and New York.

In addition to serving the needs of the Purchaser of Services, ASL, Inc. also emphasizes the importance of servicing the needs of the individual. For example, ASL, Inc. excels at selecting and matching Interpreters with clients based on the Interpreter’s skill as it relates to the client’s preferred method of communication, i.e.: American Sign Language (ASL), Signed Exact English (SEE), Manually Coded English (MCE), Pidgin Signed English (PSE), Tactile/Deaf-Blind Interpretation, Cued Speech and Oral Transliteration. This is a crucial element of pairing the best Interpreter with the Client because of the syntactic differences in each of these methods of communication.

Our Interpreters are either screened by the National Interpreters Certification (NIC), National Association of the Deaf (NAD), the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc. (RID), Interpreting Educational Interpreters Performance Assessment (EIPA), or the New Jersey Division of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (NJDDHH). RID is a national organization that advocates for national standards testing, professional development and promotes a code of professional conduct among its Interpreters. For more information about NAD, RID, EIPA or NJDDHH, please visit our FAQs page. In addition to our in-house interviewing and other screening processes, all of our Interpreters’ credentials are verified. We maintain extensive files with their qualifications, certifications and Insurance documents.
