Sign Language Interpreting Service and Training

Fair Access for the Deaf (FAD) is a sign language interpreter service and
American Sign Language training resource. FAD began simply in 1988 by
providing interpreters at the New York State Fair in Syracuse.
It has since evolved to include over 80 interpreters throughout New York State.
Since it is based in Syracuse, NY, most work ranges throughout the Central NY region -
Watertown to Binghamton and Rochester to Albany.
Travel outside that region can also be arranged.

 

FAD provides interpreters for a variety of events, including:
training, workshops	school assemblies
guest speakers	weddings
classes, lessons	musical performances
medical situations	award presentations
demonstrations	theatrical productions
meetings	graduations
job interviews, annual reviews	parent/teacher conferences

FAD conducts classes in American Sign Language at a variety of sites.
These range from beginning sign language to more specialized topics
such as ASL grammar or interpreting music.
On-site classes can also be arranged for groups at a business location.
