About ACD

Accessible Communication for the Deaf (ACD) is a full-service sign language interpreter referral agency that began operations in southern Florida in 2003.  Six years later, ACD-West was established in the Tampa Bay area.  Once the second ACD location was established, the company was able to cover a much wider area, and began serving consumers throughout Florida and Georgia. 

With the opening of ACD-West came the addition of video remote interpreting services (VRI).  Both offices are equipped with video centers enabling ACD to handle a greater volume of VRI call requests.
The company has developed a stellar reputation and the ACD name has become synonymous with quality.  Clients and consumers have come to trust that ACD will provide highly qualified interpreters, while consistently demonstrating excellence in customer service.  ACD is interpreter-owned and operated.

ACD employs a variety of technologies to increase the efficiency of daily business operations.  Communication technologies such as smart phones, text messaging, e-mail, and instant messaging allow the scheduling department to contact interpreters immediately for emergency requests or last-minute calls.  Technology also gives ACD the flexibility to offer clients several convenient ways to request interpreting services.  Clients can place a request through the ACD website, by fax, by e-mail, or by phone.  The scheduling department also uses email and/or facsimile transmissions to confirm that a request has been filled, and to provide the requestor with the name and credentials of the interpreter assigned to the request.
