Making a Request

We make it easy for you to request services. Whether you need an interpreter for a staff meeting next month or for a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, we can help you.

Simply call SLIS at 770-531-0700 (voice) or 770-287-9479 (tty) and let us know what you will need. We will ask you the following questions when you make your request:

1. What is the date, time, and duration of your meeting, event, etc.?

2. What is the specific location where the interpreter is needed?

3. Can you give us directions to this location?

4. What is the specific nature of the assignment?

5. Who is the Deaf, hard of hearing, or Deaf Blind person(s)?

6. What is their language preference: ASL, PSE, ORAL, Tactile, etc?

7. How would you like to handle payment: credit card, PO, EFT, BPA, etc.?

If you have an emergency need for a sign language interpreter, and you have called outside regular business hours, you will get our voicemail. You will be instructed to leave your message, and then to page us using the pager number given. Someone who can handle your request will call you back immediately, regardless of the time or the day.
