ASL at Arisia

Dec 05, 2012 14:11

We will be offering limited ASL interpretation at Arisia this year, by request. We have reserved the services of two interpreters for Saturday and Sunday, 10am-5pm (and they'll need a break for lunch in there somewhere). However, if you need ASL interpretation, we must know by 12/31 or we will have to cancel the reservation. Please email access@arisia.org for details, or if you are interested in volunteering or taking advantage of this service.

Any attendee who wishes to bring an interpreter with them for the day, can apply for a free ""Adult-in-tow membership for the interpreter.

We will be holding two ASL “Meet and Greet sessions” at the con to which all signers are welcome. We will have one Saturday morning at 11am, and one Sunday morning at 11am, location to be announced. All signers and levels of experience are welcome.

We will also have ASL awareness pins this year, a small black and white pin for con attendees to wear to indicate that they know some sign language. We will distribute these at the “Meet and Greet sessions”, and also at the Information Desk. we hope you'll wear these pins to other cons as well!

Thank you for your time!

Please email access@arisia.org if you have any questions!
