charges for Consulting and research support services

VLA’s Consultation and Research Support Service provides credentialed experts for a wide variety of visual language related topics. Consultants aim to provide excellent support in their respective areas of expertise.

Such support varies widely in the potential nature and scope of work to be done. Examples include advising on the design and implementation of a bilingual academic program, preparing expert testimony for a legal hearing, advising on the preparation of a dissertation defense, helping secure school or work access to a signed language interpreter or cued language transliterator, reviewing a manuscript for publication, and advising on the design and methodology of a research project.

Each of these examples can include both 1-on-1 time spent with the consultant and related work time by the consultant outside of 1-on-1 appointment time.
