ASL Interpretation is available upon request with advance notice of your planned visit. Please send voluntary accommodation requests to accessprogramming@hmns.org, fax to 713-639-4681, or call 713-639-4620. Certified ASL interpreters are often not available on short notice. As a result, sufficient advance notice—ideally no less than 14 days—is requested.
