ASL Interpreter Planning for Professional Appointments

ASL interpreting should be scheduled with enough detail to match the interpreter and format to the appointment.

Share the Setting and Duration

Tell the provider the type of appointment, expected duration, location, participant count, and whether the session may extend beyond the original schedule.

Consider Longer Assignments Carefully

Long or intensive appointments may require additional planning or more than one interpreter depending on duration and communication demands.

In-Person or Video

In-person ASL interpreting and video-based options each have advantages. Confirm the format that best fits the specific appointment and participant needs.
