What ASL support does Merit America offer?

At Merit America, we offer free American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation services to ensure equitable access for Deaf and hard-of-hearing learners. Interpretation is available for:

  • Required squad/small group meetings

  • 1:1 Program Coach sessions

  • Optional program events like mock interviews or Tech Advisor 1:1s

Once you request ASL support, we’ll coordinate directly with external providers and send you and your Program Coach a schedule of covered meetings. Please allow up to 5 business days for services to begin (note: we do not operate on Fridays).

To help us deliver services smoothly, we ask that you attend all scheduled meetings and give at least 4 hours’ notice if you need to cancel. If two meetings are missed or canceled too late, ASL support will be paused until you meet with our team to create a support plan.
