The City of Los Angeles Department on Disability provides Sign Language Interpreting (SLI) and Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART) services to ensure equal access to City programs, services, and activities under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Please submit your service request through our online form below at least five business days before the event. We will do our best to accommodate requests with shorter notice, but securing last-minute interpreters or captioners may not always be feasible.
The requesting department or office is responsible for event setup, audio coordination, and ensuring caption and interpreter visibility. The Department on Disability coordinates service providers but does not manage event technology or room setup.
Note: We recommend remote SLI or CART services (via Google Meet or Zoom) when possible, as in-person availability is limited.
