Top 5 Benefits of Implementing ASL Now's Services in Your Organization

For many Deaf and Hard of Hearing people, accessibility isn’t just a choice – it’s the way of life. With over 1 million Deaf Americans using American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language, businesses, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and public service organizations need to find ways to ensure their services are inclusive.??

ASL Now makes this possible by offering flexible ASL services, helping organizations of all types communicate effectively with their Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers, patients, consumers, students, and more.??

Here are the top five benefits of implementing ASL Now's services in your organization:

1. Improve Communication Accessibility for All

No matter your industry, ensuring clear communication is paramount. We offer a variety of tools and services to confirm communication is accessible to your Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers.?

From Direct Video Calling (DVC) to Video Remote Interpreting and On-Site Virtual Support, we make it easy to integrate these services into meetings, consultations, training sessions, and more. DVC, as highlighted in the FCC’s public notice, is a critical tool for point-to-point video calls in American Sign Language (ASL) between Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals and businesses or government agencies.?

For example, healthcare providers can make sure that Deaf patients understand medical instructions, or a university can offer accessible lectures and materials for Deaf students. Your organization can create through these services an inclusive environment where everyone can participate, no matter their hearing abilities.?

2. Improve Your Organization’s Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are no longer just buzzwords – they are quite essential pillars of any forward-thinking organization. If you're a nonprofit organization focused on advocacy, or a business aiming to create an inclusive workplace, or a government agency looking to engage all citizens equally, then implementing ASL Now’s services gives a clear signal to your Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers, consumers, and patients your commitment to accessibility and inclusion.??

3. Ensure Legal Compliance

ASL Now provides tools and services that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)guidelines, such as (DVC) and Video Remote Interpreting. This is especially important in industries like healthcare, where clear communication can significantly impact patient care.?

4. Boost Employee and Customer Engagement

When Deaf employees or customers can communicate effectively, they feel more engaged and connected with your organization. For businesses, this can result in stronger internal collaboration and a more productive workforce. For healthcare organizations, providing clear communication can increase patient satisfaction and trust. For nonprofits, offering inclusive services can improve engagement with the communities you serve. The Deaf community is also close-knit, with positive experiences often shared quickly within their networks, resulting in brand awareness and loyalty to your organization.

5. Cost-Effective and Flexible Solutions

Traditional in-person sign language interpreters can be costly and logistically challenging. We offer flexible, on-demand services that are both cost-effective and tailored to your needs.?

With our pay-per-use model, your organization can access high-quality virtual interpreting services without the need for expensive contracts or long-term commitments. We also offer in-store support for your customers, allowing them to use a tablet to connect with trained representatives in ASL, increasing accessibility and foot traffic to your business.?
