Who We Are
Located in Vancouver, Washington and serving clients in the U.S and Canada, Strada Communication, Inc. is a communication access agency serving disability coordinators in education, business and social service organizations. Services Include: TypeWell Transcription, CART/Real-Time Captioning, Sign Language Interpreting, and more.
We Break Down Barriers
Our goal is to increase real-time communication access. Strada provides a wide range of accommodations for students, employees and clients that quickly and easily reduce or eliminate environmental barriers to effective communication.
We specialize in consulting and service coordination . We coordinate services for consumers who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing, and others who experience Traumatic Brain Injury, Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder, or other disabilities that present with auditory processing issues.
Because we understand each type of disability is unique, services are tailored to provide a “best fit”. We assist coordinators and consumers in exploring all options available and in finding those that meet the individual needs of the consumer and the organizational goals of the disability services coordinator.
