“Boutique” means you, as the consumer, come first. Unspoken Language Services knows the importance of quality, consistency, and accuracy during an interpretation. Whether it is an intimate medical appointment or a staff meeting, you have the right to share your preferences for gender, signing style (ASL, transliteration, and more), and comfort level.
Our goal is to bring complete awareness to the underserved Deaf community by specializing in cultural mediation and interpretation, and by allying with you, as the consumer, to ensure your rights as an individual are honored.
