When a parent doesn't understand the IEP meeting, a patient doesn't understand the consent form, or a witness can't testify — the meeting stops being useful. JB Linguistics fields trained interpreters who don't just translate words; they restore the shared context that lets the meeting do what it was scheduled to do.
IEP meetings, 504 meetings, parent-teacher conferences, enrollment intake, disciplinary hearings, ELL/EL services planning. Trained for special-education vocabulary and Title VI/IDEA compliance. Same-week scheduling for routine needs.
Patient intake, informed consent, discharge instructions, behavioral health sessions, OB/maternity, social-services case management. Per-engagement HIPAA agreements signed by every interpreter. CHIA (Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters) credentialed network.
Client interviews, depositions, prep sessions, sworn-statement preparation, immigration interviews, USCIS prep, court hearings. Court-trained interpreters for state and federal proceedings. Sight translation of documents in-session available.
Workplace investigations, harassment hearings, benefits enrollment, training, performance reviews, exit interviews. Confidentiality NDAs aligned to your corporate counsel's standards.
Refugee resettlement, legal-aid intake, community health outreach, social-services case management, advocacy work. Reduced-rate community pricing for qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations.
Federal, state, and municipal agencies serving limited-English-proficient constituents under Title VI and Executive Order 13166. Contract-ready under NAICS 541930. Past performance on request.
Phone interpretation available within 30 seconds for routine outreach. Per-minute pricing with no monthly minimums for school districts and nonprofits. Coverage Monday–Friday 7am–7pm in 30+ languages; after-hours and weekend support available with 2-hour notice.
Scheduled video sessions for IEPs, depositions, telehealth, and any conversation where visual context matters. We use your platform (Zoom, Teams, Webex, Doxy, Cisco) so families don't install anything new. Per-session pricing with 24-hour cancellation policy.
In-person interpreters dispatched for court appearances, hospital settings, formal hearings, and multi-day events. Available within Greater Phoenix metro with 48-hour notice; national network for major US metros with 5-day lead time. Per-day or per-hour billing.
Healthcare interpreters trained in CHIA / NBCMI standards. School interpreters trained in IDEA, FERPA, and special-education vocabulary. Court interpreters trained in court-room protocol and oath procedures. We don't field generalists into specialized settings.
Every interpreter signs a per-engagement confidentiality agreement before the assignment begins. For healthcare engagements, HIPAA-aligned handling and per-assignment BAAs. For school settings, FERPA-aligned workflows. For legal work, court-appropriate protocol.
Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Arabic, Korean, Russian, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, French, Dari, Pashto, Somali, Swahili, Amharic, Burmese, Karen, Nepali, Punjabi, Urdu, ASL, and 30+ additional languages. Every interpreter is credentialed (CHIA, NBCMI, or court-certified equivalent) for the setting they work in.
Most routine school interpretation requests (parent-teacher conferences, enrollment intake, ELL services planning) are filled within the same calendar week. Standing IEP and 504 meeting slots are pre-booked at the start of each semester so you never scramble.
For multi-session matters (ongoing IEP teams, longitudinal healthcare cases, multi-day depositions), we assign the same lead interpreter throughout — so context isn't lost between sessions.
Special-education interpreters know the difference between 'accommodation' and 'modification' in IEP context. Healthcare interpreters know the difference between informed consent and informed refusal. Court interpreters know when to say 'objection' versus 'objection sustained'.
For Title VI / EO 13166 audit work, we provide quarterly reporting documenting language access provision: assignments completed, languages served, sessions per setting, no-show rates, complaints resolved. Audit-ready PDF format.
Nonprofits with documented 501(c)(3) status serving limited-English-proficient populations receive sliding-scale community rates — typically 30–50% below commercial rates. We need to be paid; we don't need to be paid like a Fortune 500 vendor.
24-hour scheduled-session cancellation is no-charge. Same-day cancellation is 50% of the scheduled fee (versus 100% at most commercial agencies). On-demand phone interpretation has no cancellation fee — you only pay for time used.
On-demand phone interpretation in 30+ languages is available within 30 seconds during business hours (Monday–Friday 7am–7pm Mountain Time). Scheduled video remote interpretation is typically filled within 24 hours for any major language. On-site interpretation in Greater Phoenix requires 48-hour notice; on-site interpretation in other US metros requires 5 business days.
Yes. Healthcare interpreters are credentialed under CHIA (Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters) or NBCMI (National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters). Court interpreters are certified by their state's Administrative Office of the Courts or hold a federal certification for federal proceedings. School interpreters are trained in IDEA, FERPA, and special-education vocabulary. Every interpreter is credentialed for the setting they work in — we don't field generalists into specialized settings.
On-demand phone interpretation is billed per minute with no monthly minimum for school districts and nonprofits. Scheduled video remote and on-site interpretation are billed per session or per hour. Volume discounts are available for districts and clinics with 25+ engagements per month.

Yes — and we recommend it for ongoing IEP teams, longitudinal healthcare cases, and multi-day depositions where continuity matters. When you book a standing slot, the same lead interpreter is assigned for the duration of the engagement. If the lead interpreter is unavailable for a specific session, the substitute receives a full briefing from the lead beforehand.
Yes. ASL interpretation is available for video remote (VRI) and on-site settings. ASL interpreters are RID-certified (Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf) and credentialed for the setting they work in (educational, medical, legal). VRI is typically available within 24 hours; on-site requires 5 business days for non-emergency requests.
24-hour scheduled-session cancellation is no-charge. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled session are billed at 50% of the scheduled fee. No-shows (where the interpreter dials in or arrives on-site and the meeting doesn't happen) are billed at 100%. On-demand phone interpretation has no cancellation fee — you only pay for actual time used.
