HandsUp Agency offers a variety of accessibility services aimed at serving the communication needs and equal access of all deaf/hard of hearing people. In case of an event you are organizing, you have in your audience people with hearing problems who do not choose sign language as a means of communication but the spoken word, HandsUp provides lip reading services with lip speakers.

Lip reading interpreters are professional interpreters who are required to clearly communicate the speakers’ messages without using the voice. They are trained in the communication needs of the deaf/hard of hearing and trained to clearly reproduce the word form, rhythm, volume, and tone of the speakers’ voices. If asked, they are able to assist lip reading with facial expressions, natural hand movements, and the finger alphabet. They have a discreet and neutral presence and are solely tasked with the transfer of messages between the contracting parties, without interfering with the content of what is being said. Specialization and lifelong training programs, higher university and technical education, guided tours, courts, medical contexts, job interviews, social services, cultural events, political speeches, parliamentary meetings, conference calls, conferences, and scientific meetings can be covered by lip-reading interpreters of HandsUp.
