Requesting ASL and CART Services

Want to find an ASL interpreter and/or a CART captioner for your event? Unable to pay for these services on your own? We got you covered!

ASL interpreters and CART workers are provided by the Disability Services Office (DSO), but we can help smaller organizations like RSOs submit a request to DSO and even cover the cost of these services. We will not cover the cost of these services for events held by UW departments and programs since our focus is to create greater access to these services among smaller organizations. However, anyone can use this form in the next section! Just copy and paste it into your email message.

Organizations who would like funding from will submit this form to us via the built-in form at the end of the page or via email at Dcenter@uw.edu. We cannot guarantee funding or ASL/CART services due to a limited budget and an ongoing ASL interpreter shortage in Washington state. In order to ensure that resources are being used wisely, we will review and accept/deny requests for ASL and CART services on a case-by-case basis. If accepted, we will follow up with you and forward your request to DSO. You will continue this process by communicating with DSO. Please submit requests at least three weeks prior to your event date.

Departments and organizations that can fund these services themselves will submit this form directly to the DSO Coordinator of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services, Dimitri Summers, via email at Dimitri1@uw.edu. Please submit requests at least 10 business days prior to your event date.

These services can be provided in in-person, hybrid, or remote settings. Please note that in-person CART requires a presentation screen, projector and seat for the CART worker. Remote CART requires a presentation screen, projector, laptop connected to Zoom and microphone to be held by any individual who speaks.
