Growing up immersed in Deaf culture and using American Sign Language, her brother, uncle, and two sister-in-laws are Deaf. She also attended various Deaf camps.

The ASL and Deaf interpreting services are offered in a variety of settings, including education, medical, business and therapeutic. The Interpreters work across Massachusetts while maintaining local or national credentials and/or certification. 

The Community ASL Classes provide immersive, informal classes for the broader community to learn, enrich and enhance their ASL. Taught by Deaf instructors, our classes provide a rich and engaging environment for entry-level learners. Customized courses are also offered for distinct groups when applicable.

TLC’s Communication and Access Services also provides information regarding the Deaf Community, how to work with interpreters, and how to make communication more accessible.
