Deaf-Hearing Communication Center Inc

Interpreting services: this is our largest program. Dhcc recruits and screens qualified american sign language (asl) interpreters to facilitate communication between deaf and hard of hearing individuals that use asl to communicate, and hearing individuals that use english. Dhcc sends interpreters to a variety of settings, including hospitals, physician's offices, court, lawyer's offices, businesses, colleges, universities, public school classes, public school conferences, and any situation where communication occurs. Hard of hearing individuals that do not use asl gain access through real-time captioning (cart). Dhcc advocates with hearing individuals to hire interpreters and captioners to provide communication access to deaf individuals.

Emergency interpreting services: an essential service provided outside of dhcc's regular business hours. Dhcc has coordinators and interpreters on call every evening and holiday to respond to police and medical emergencies. Deaf hearing communication center has the largest and most comprehensive program in the philadelphia region.
