Familiarity with telecommunications relay systems, video relay software, and FCC regulations is often required, along with any certifications related to relay interpreting or telecommunications. Excellent interpersonal skills, patience, and cultural sensitivity are crucial for effectively supporting the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. These competencies ensure clear, accurate communication and a professional, supportive experience for relay service users.
