Types of Interpreters
American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters primarily focus on facilitating communication between the client(s) using ASL and the client(s) using English. They translate ASL to English and vice versa either real-time or consecutively, depending on the setting. Learn more about American Sign Language here.
Some interpreters are trilingual. Some of our interpreters are able to speak Spanish on top of English and ASL.
Deaf interpreters are Deaf or hard of hearing and benefit the dialogue by adding in authentic linguistic and cultural factors. Deaf interpreters allow Deaf and hard of hearing client(s) feel more confident about their representation in the dialogue. Deaf interpreters also help reduce cultural barriers.
Oral interpreters will re-enunciate the speaker’s words at a normal rate of speed to allow the Deaf or hard of hearing client to speechread. They sometimes rephrase or edit the words used to have higher visibility on the lips to support comprehension.
