Booking an A2SL Interpreter:
How does it work?
Step 1: Put in an interpreter request
First time scheduling? Send us an email or complete our new client form. Our professional, kind, and prompt office staff will get in touch with you immediately with our service agreement for review and answer any questions.
Returning client? Send us an email or complete our returning client form. Estimates are available upon request or use our estimate tool! (As a reminder, appointments start with a 2-hour-minimum booking slot!)
Step 2: Receive an appointment confirmation
Once a request has been made through email or our website, a confirmation of booking/scheduling an interpreter will be emailed to you for your records.
Step 3: Receive appointment updates and reminders, and we'll see you at the appointment or event!
Our office staff takes an active role in carefully selecting the interpreter and service provider best suited to the client and the setting. They will be booked for the appointment! As part of our coordination service, you will also receive updates with the name(s) of the A2SL interpreter(s) assigned to your appointment, and a courtesy reminder of your upcoming interpreter booking.
Step 4: Receive the final invoice
The final invoice will be sent to the email address listed on the service agreement after ASL services are provided. Payments are typically due within 30 days of receiving the invoice and can be paid electronically through the invoice for your convenience!
*Disclaimer: Private pay appointments/events (non-corporation entity) or singleton special events may have a separate service agreement with a pre-event deposit invoice.
