Sign Language Interpreting Professionals

ASL version now available! https://youtu.be/jrivkJEXASQ

Tressa on the Yinz Are Good podcast spent some time talking with our very own Danielle Gregor!

They talked about the story behind Sign Language Interpreting Professionals (SLIP), how family experiences shaped the company, and why meaningful communication access matters during both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life.

SLIP began more than 20 years ago because Joanne wanted to do right by her Deaf parents, their friends, and the community. That purpose still guides everything Danielle, and team, do today.

They also talked about ASL, the work of connecting communities, and the responsibility that comes with earning the trust of the people we serve.

Thank you, Tressa, for giving us the opportunity to share our story and for highlighting the good happening throughout Pittsburgh.

We hope you’ll give it a listen! (Or read, there is a live transcript on the Spotify app! We will work on getting an ASL version recorded ASAP.)

There's nothing better than spending a beautiful Pittsburgh day connecting with our community.

At SLIP, we believe everyone deserves equal access to communication—whether at a community event, in the workplace, at a healthcare appointment, in the classroom, or anywhere meaningful conversations happen.

Our team is proud to help bridge communication gaps by providing professional American Sign Language interpreting and communication access services throughout Western Pennsylvania and beyond.

If you're planning an event, serving customers, supporting employees, or simply want to make your organization more accessible, we'd love to help.

Welcome back to Pittsburgh, furry friends! 🐾

As we celebrate the 20th year of Anthrocon in our city, we're proud to share that SLIP has been providing the "InterpreFurs" since 2013!

Anthrocon's commitment to communication access and inclusion has never been just lip service—it's been woven right into the fabric (or should we say fur-bric?) of the convention experience for more than a decade.

Their dedication to ensuring Deaf and hard of hearing attendees can fully participate is simply paws-itively inspiring. 🐾

Here's to 20 years of Anthrocon in Pittsburgh and many more years of making sure everyone can join the pack.

⚾💙 We'll see you at the ballpark!

Sunday, July 12, is Disability Pride Day at PNC Park, and the team at SLIP will be there celebrating disability pride, inclusion, and accessibility alongside our community.

Beyond interpreting services, SLIP is proud to offer consultation, training, and advocacy services to help organizations build more accessible and inclusive environments.
