Canada has two official sign languages: American Sign Language (ASL) and Langue des signes québécoise (LSQ). ASL is used primarily in English-speaking parts of the country, while LSQ is used mainly in French-speaking regions, particularly in Quebec. It should also be noted that there are other sign languages used by different communities across Canada, such as Indigenous Sign Language, Maritime Sign Language, and more. There is no set rule for determining which sign language a specific region or individual uses, so when in doubt, it’s best to directly ask the Deaf or hard-of-hearing individual their preference. At Inclusive Communication Services, we have a team of trained and credentialed interpreters who can facilitate effective communication between Deaf consumers and their hearing counterparts in a variety of sign languages, including ASL and LSQ. Our American Sign Language and Langue des signes québécoise interpreting services are particularly valuable for businesses, government agencies, healthcare providers, and educational institutions that require accessibility accommodations for their Deaf and hard-of-hearing employees, customers, patients, and students. ICS also offers interpreting services for a variety of other sign languages, working directly with our clients to customize services to their consumer’s specific needs and preferences. At Inclusive Communication Services, we are dedicated to promoting equal-access and inclusion in the diverse communities of Canada, the United States, and beyond! For more information about our foreign sign language services, including LSQ, reach out to an Inclusive Communication Services Accessibility Coordinator.
