How We Can Help K-12

As expectations for educators continue to rise, school districts all over the nation are on a mission to meet standards. An essential standard that educators are faced with is ensuring equal learning opportunities for all students. Hands up is proud to offer language access approaches that ensure academic milestones are achieved in the K-12 environment.

Professionalism

We understand school districts work diligently to provide a quality education for their students.

This goal is only possible when families can align with the academic mission. When education professionals can establish a successful alliance with students and their families, half the battle is won.

By helping academic professionals create an alliance with students and families to remove language barriers, we can help these diverse language needs cooperate seamlessly with your academic goals.

Our talented and professional interpreters can put parents and students at ease, knowing that their communication needs are being met.

Transcription Services

Hands Up Communications offers transcription services so that anyone attending a presentation can access the content.

There are two different types of transcription services offered: CART and C-Print or TypeWell. CART transcriptions are a word-for-word speech-to-text service produced by a stenographer. C-print and TypeWell are meaning-for-meaning interpretations of what gets said in a classroom by typists specially trained in text-condensing strategies.

We have some of the best and most highly trained transcriptionists in Iowa and Florida. Our team can help to meet any classroom need to make sure all classroom materials and presentations are accessible to every student.
