ASL Interpreting
ASL Interpreting is the process of translating spoken language into American Sign Language (ASL) for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Interpreters use hand signs, facial expressions, and body language to convey the meaning of spoken words in real-time. This service is essential in various settings, including schools, hospitals, and public events, ensuring effective communication.
Interpreters must be fluent in both English and ASL, as well as knowledgeable about cultural nuances. They play a crucial role in bridging communication gaps, allowing deaf individuals to participate fully in conversations and activities. Their work promotes inclusivity and accessibility in society.
