ASL Interpreting and Captioning

Sign Language Interpreters and Captioners

The Disability Resource Center employs certified and licensed ASL Interpreters, and certified Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART) captioners to provide communication access services to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. These services are available for all University sponsored activities, on or off campus, such as classes, meetings, workshops, performances, sports, and events.

Interpreters and CART captioners provide communication access to deaf and hard of hearing individuals at the University of Arizona:

  • Sign Language Interpreters interpret spoken English into American Sign Language (ASL) and often work in teams.
  • CART captioners are professionals who use a steno machine, software and a computer to translate spoken English into printed text.
