Sign Language Interpreter Requests
If you require sign language interpreter services during the Convention in Boston, August 14-17, 2008, please contact Visual Language Interpreting (VLI) with your requirements as soon as possible, but no later than July 15. Please be specific about date and time for your interpreter service needs. If you are waiting to review online Convention Program before finalizing your schedule, please send VLI your tentative day/time coverage requirements so that they can ensure that you have access to the services you need at the Convention. (The Program will be available on our website www.apa.org/convention in mid-June, and will be mailed to Advance registrants beginning in early July.)
To ensure the availability of interpreter services, arrangements should be made prior to July 15, 2008. If arrangements are not requested by July 15, 2008, APA will not be able to guarantee availability of such arrangements.
