Able Hands aims for excellence in all that we do and we believe you will  notice the difference. All interpreters must meet our high standards in honoring confidentiality and cultural awareness. All interpreters must  also follow the procedures set forth by the Missouri Certification and  License systems.

We  will gladly work with you to accommodate your interpreting needs.  If you  ever have a question about our services, please don't hesitate to call.  

Team interpreting 

Some assignments may require more than one interpreter. Typically the  factors mandating team interpreting include, but are not limited to:  

• Length and/or complexity of the assignment  
• Unique needs of the person being served   
• Physical and emotional dynamics of the setting   
• Avoidance of repetitive stress injuries (RSI's) for interpreters   

Tactile Interpreting 

We offer tactile interpreting for Deaf-Blind individuals.  

Its The Law  

Communication  access is a civil right for all! Providing Sign Language interpreters  ensures communication access to people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.  As mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) www.ada.gov, it  is required that all agencies and places of public accommodations  provide professional Sign Languages interpreters upon request. The ADA  is a comprehensive anti-discriminatory law that extends to society and  most aspects of daily living. Title III Section 36.303 requires places  of public accommodations to be accessible to, and usable by, people with  disabilities.
