Hands Up Communications

Our Company Vision

Hands Up Communications offers a familiar hello in languages that make sense to everyone. Through a familiar hello in every language, our vision is to make it easy for businesses and organizations to create a sense of belonging for Deaf and Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals.

Why is hello in a familiar language so important?

Hearing hello creates a connection. What makes that connection stronger, is hearing hello in a familiar language that makes sense. This is super important, because “hello in a language that makes sense lets the whole world feel the comfort of belonging” However, offering a familiar hello in every language isn’t always so easy.

How we can help you.

Through interpretation, translation, and transcription, Hands Up offers both traditional and modern communication solutions that create equal communication for you and your clients, patients, students, or employees. With a wide range of unique services, we can help you create a sense of belonging for everyone you serve, no matter the language they use.
