A Shift in Perspective

In our work, each person whether deaf, disabled or able-bodied, should be afforded the same respect and access. appa is here to serve that fundamental right.

We strive to provide the best in essential services for deaf and disabled people. Be it translation, note-taking, physical support, or life-skills, our values set the quality of our service and ensures we hold them to the highest standard.

We promise to always:

  • make a difference
  • demonstrate genuine understanding
  • ask why not

What does appa mean?
