Mission

The Lehigh Valley Center for Independent Living, Inc empowers people with all types of disabilities to achieve independence in an inclusive community. LVCIL envisions a world free of barriers where people with all types of disabilities live their dreams.

About

LVCIL's sign language interpreter referral service ('SLIRS') provides the deaf community with easy access to the highest quality interpreting services. After the execution of the ADA, federal and state laws pertaining to individuals with disabilities led to an increased awareness for organizations throughout the nation to achieve full compliance with the ADA. As a result, the need for reliable sign language interpreting services has escalated dramatically. Due to the collaborative efforts of the Northeast PA Office of Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Allentown's District Office of PA OVR, local sign language interpreters and the deaf community, LVCIL's SLIRS was conceived, and since 2004 has operated on a 24/7 basis. LVCIL coordinates thousands of appointments annually between individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and local doctors, hospitals, lawyers, schools, courts, state and local government offices, and other businesses. Program staff also offer occasional programming for the deaf and hard of hearing including ASL club and ASL classes.
