PUVA-Tulkkauspalvelut provides personalised support for people with speech disabilities in Tampere and the surrounding Pirkanmaa region. Its services are built around respectful client relationships, reliable communication and careful attention to each person’s needs, with strict professional confidentiality.

The team offers interpreting to support clients in everyday activities, appointments, work, education, community participation and leisure. Interpreters use a range of communication methods, including pictures, plain language, communication folders, fingerspelling, supported signs, eye-gaze communication, drawing, gestures, writing and communication devices or apps. PUVA also provides guidance in communication methods and technical aids, creates and updates personalised picture-based communication materials, and offers related expert services and creative activities with images.

The business is led by experienced speech-disability interpreters and neuropsychiatric coaches who have worked with people with significant disabilities. PUVA-Tulkkauspalvelut is a Kela contract partner for interpreting services; individual services may differ, as one team member does not provide Kela interpreting. The organisation also accepts third-party service orders and welcomes new challenges in picture-based communication.
