Hands Up Communications

At Hands Up Communications, we believe that access to communication is not just a necessity but a fundamental human right. Our vision is simple yet powerful: Access creates conversations, and conversations create opportunities. We help businesses and organizations build better relationships with their employees, students, patients, and clients who are Deaf or have limited English proficiency. Through interpreting, translating, and transcription, we help you create a sense of belonging for everyone you serve, no matter the language they use.

Our Services

Hands Up Communications offers a full range of language access solutions to help you connect with people of all languages. Our services include:

• On-Site Interpreting: We offer both American Sign Language (ASL) and Spoken Language interpreters, with professional interpreters having a wide range of experience across many different industries. Now available in Iowa and Florida.
• Translation Services: Our translators are experts at writing your materials into a language people can understand, eliminating confusion for employees, patients, clients, and anyone else needing to understand your content.
• National Video Remote Interpreting: Creating a sense of belonging for all languages has never been easier. With our professional video interpreters, language barriers instantly become a human interaction.
• Transcription Services: Transcription turns spoken language into captions for people to read, providing a convenient way to communicate with people who are Deaf or hard of hearing.
• Over the Phone Interpreting: Over the phone interpreting is great for quick communication with Limited English Proficient (LEP) people, ideal for situations where onsite interpreters aren't available or for shorter interactions.

At Hands Up Communications, we are committed to removing barriers and creating connections. We believe that language access is not just a requirement, but a key to unlocking opportunities and building meaningful relationships. Our team of communication experts is dedicated to providing exceptional service, ensuring that everyone has the ability to communicate effectively.
