Of the various forms of interpretation, whether it is consecutive or simultaneous interpretation, Sign Language Interpretation stands apart from all common forms of language interpretation. In our effort to be as inclusive as we possibly can, we have added to our roster ASL Interpretation or American Sign Language Interpreters services.
Sign language interpretation consists of using hands and facial expression instead of voice to translate to the hearing-impaired. Generally, sign language interpretation is often done consecutively for the hearing-impaired as a means of communicating to the outside world. This can take place anywhere and in a variety of settings.
Sign language interpreting can be done simultaneously addressing a large audience at conventions, religious function, conference etc…
Many interpreters for the deaf have obtained accreditation and are certified sign language interpreters.
