Why Houston ISD agencies choose Taika
Serve every resident in their language — and stay ahead of every mandate.
Houston ISD serves roughly 70,000 English Learners across the district — one of the largest multilingual student populations in the nation (Houston ISD Multilingual Programs). Taika helps your agency meet Title VI, EO 13166, and ADA obligations without adding staff.
Certified translation
Certified and standard document translation for legal, medical, government, and academic use — signed certificate of accuracy for USCIS, court, and institutional submission.
Professional interpretation
On-site, on-demand phone (OPI), video-remote (VRI), and ASL / CART interpretation for service encounters, hearings, IEP meetings, and community events — scheduled or around the clock.
Section 508 & ADA compliance
Document and media remediation to Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA, plus captioning and subtitling — so your digital communications meet accessibility obligations.
Digital accessibility deadlines are here
Under the ADA Title II rule, public entities serving 50,000+ people must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 24, 2026; smaller entities and special district governments by April 24, 2027. We remediate documents, websites, and video captioning to close the gap.
How we're different & better
One accountable partner — not a fragmented vendor list.
Typical language vendor
- Separate vendors for translation, interpreting, and 508
- Portal-only; no named human contact
- Slow, unclear quoting
- Compliance is your problem to assemble
Taika
- Translation + interpretation + Section 508/ADA in one contract
- A named team that answers the phone
- Written quotes at locked contract pricing
- Title VI, EO 13166, and accessibility handled together
