DEC Interpreters for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community

The Disability Empowerment Center (DEC) provides high quality interpreting services in American Sign Language. Services are available throughout Central Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas. The Disability Empowerment Center is a private, nonprofit, nonresidential organization run by and for people with disabilities, so we understand the unique needs of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
Our certified American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreters and Certified Deaf Interpreters (CDIs) are available for a multitude of needs and settings. We also offer American Sign Language classes at our Lancaster, PA Center.
As an area non-profit organization, when you use Interpreting Services from the Disability Empowerment Center, your dollars are invested back into your local community to enhance services for individuals with disabilities.
