Sign Language Interpreter

Hi Everyone, I am interested in finding out if anyone has recently hired a sign language interpreter to assist the deaf or hearing impaired during a presentation. If you have any recommendations for agencies etc to turn to in order to find an interpreter, especially in the Washtenaw County area, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Keegan -- Keegan Sulecki Head of Adult Services Chelsea District Library 221 S. Main St. Chelsea, MI 48118 734.475.8732 ext. 218 chelseadistrictlibrary.org

DeafCan.org serves all southeastern Michigan. Great people to work with for interpreting or _any needs_ related to hearing impairment. They've been around since 1981. I say this as a parent using them in the past, as a librarian, and as a continuing supporter. Lois Keel On 12/18/2015 1:46 PM, Keegan Sulecki wrote:
