As a Deaf-owned and -operated sign language interpreting agency, we hold close to our heart the importance of Deaf access in education. BIS was founded by David Birnbaum, who experienced firsthand what it was like to go through school without access. Charged with the stories of his father—and mother—Birnbaum Interpreting Services’ CEO, Brian Birnbaum remains determined to provide access to students of all ages.
In addition to VRI, remote captioning—also referred to as Remote CART, Streamtext, or Relay Conference Captioning (RCC)—has become paramount to Deaf access services around the globe. Birnbaum Interpreting Services provides more than 50,000 minutes of remote captioning per month, and that number is growing rapidly.
BIS also provides traditional onsite captioning services. We work to meet the needs of all our commercial clients.
BIS has provided Deaf access services for schools at all levels, from K-12 to colleges and universities. As a former member of the Maryland School for the Deaf’s board of directors, David Birnbaum has long been an advocate for access in education, providing all forms of Deaf access service, from sign language and VRI to remote and onsite captioning. Our education clients include but are certainly not limited to:
State of Maryland Department of Education
United States Department of Education
California Community Colleges
Eastern West Virginia Community & Technical College
Columbia Basin College
