Interpretation and Translation Network
Affordable and Culturally-Responsive Language Services
It’s the law
Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination by any program receiving federal funding on the basis of race, color, or national origin. The responsibility of providing language access is that of the entity, not that of the LEP individual.

great but, even
better, they provided
a familiar face and
a cultural perspective
that was comforting
to the client, reduced
anxiety, and was
productive for
everyone."
