Interpreter / CART Referral Department
Why NDHHS?
NDHHS uses a Referral Management System specifically designed and tailored to the needs of ASL-English Interpreting and CART Services in New Hampshire. With each request, NDHHS is able to cross reference interpreter qualifications, assignment requirements/responsibilities, communication preferences and matches, and requester’s parameters. This approach makes NDHHS the most effective Referral Service available in New Hampshire.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing community members can contact the Referral Department directly via Video Phone (603-968-5891)! For hearing community members, our voice number is 603-224-1850, ext 250.
** PLEASE NOTE: NDHHS upgraded to a new Referral Database on Jan 1, 2023. To support the new database, referral fees increased slightly, effective Dec 1, 2022. We appreciate your patience and support as we strive to best serve the Deaf & Hard of Hearing communities of New Hampshire! There will be more information about the new scheduling options (and lots of help with the transition) as we continue shifting over. **

Our Commitment to NH
NDHHS is a NH nonprofit, rooted within the New Hampshire Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing Community.
At NDHHS, we pride ourselves on not only our Referral Services, but also our advocacy and community education. We take the time to ensure that everyone – Requester, Community Member, and Interpreter – are on the same page and work together for the best communication access possible.
Our Interpreters
Every interpreter contracted with NDHHS has gone through an extensive on-boarding process to ensure the highest quality of service. NDHHS holds records of Interpreter Certification, NH Licensure (RSA 326-1), copy of professional liability insurance, and proof of a criminal background check, along with other paperwork when required (i.e. vaccinations for specific locations, times of year, etc.)
NDHHS works to secure the most effective and qualified communication access to best fit each unique customer, community member, and setting.
