Meet language access mandates

What is language access?
Language access is the right for individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) to meaningfully participate in government programs, public services, and funded organizations - without language being a barrier.
In the United States, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act requires federally funded entities to provide language access. The ADA requires accessible communication. Globally, the European Accessibility Act and regional laws impose similar obligations.
Non-compliance can result in federal funding loss, complaints, and legal liability. InterScribe makes compliance affordable, scalable, and immediate.
