Sign language interpreting services offer communication support for individuals who use sign language. It provides access to spoken language for the deaf, hard of hearing (HoH), and deafblind persons allowing these individuals access and opportunities to participate in more activities.
Sign language interpreters use a sign language, such as American sign language (ASL), tactile sign language, Mexican Sign Language, or other sign languages, to interpret spoken or written words into sign language and vice versa.
A sign language interpreter is essential when communicating with someone who is deaf, HoH, or deafblind. Interpreters facilitate communication between hearing and visually impaired individuals with those who use spoken languages.
Having an interpreter helps ensure all parties can fully participate in the conversation and understand one another. It is important to assess the situation, consider the assignment's complexity, and evaluate your event's communication needs. The more essential accurate communication is required in a setting, the more necessary it is to have an interpreter.
