asl Interpreters and Captionists
The Justin Dart, Jr. Student Accessibility Center employs American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreters, and Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART) captionists to coordinate communication access services to students who are deaf or hard of hearing. These services are available for university sponsored activities such as classes, meetings, workshops, performances, and events.
Interpreters and CART captionists provide communication access to deaf and hard of hearing individuals at the University of Houston.
