Breaking Down Language Barriers in Education

Clear communication gives every student the opportunity to succeed. K-12 schools can enhance parental engagement and drive better student outcomes with language access. Hanna provides experienced, compassionate interpreters familiar with the unique requirements of school environments. Our FERPA-compliant services ensure confidentiality, promoting trust between families and educators.

Expert support for English learners and students with disabilities

Effective communication provides students with the best possible support for their education. Hanna’s specialized interpreters understand the terminology, complexity, and sensitivity involved in IEP meetings, facilitating clear understanding between educators, parents, and support staff. Whether students or their families face language barriers or require Deaf/hard-of-hearing accommodations, our in-person and virtual solutions bridge communication differences.

100% FERPA compliant

Protecting student privacy is non-negotiable. Hanna’s services are fully compliant with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requirements. Our secure platforms and trained interpreters ensure that sensitive student information remains confidential, empowering teachers to work more effectively with parents to advance student outcomes.

Flexible scheduling and on-demand solutions

School schedules can be unpredictable. Last-minute meetings or urgent parent communications require responsive language support. In addition to on-site interpretation, Hanna offers on-demand virtual solutions, so you can secure qualified interpreters when you need them. Have a recurring meeting that requires language support? Use our convenient online platform to schedule interpretation in advance, with the option to request the same Hanna Interpreter for continuity.
