What is an ASL Sign Language Interpreter?

ASL Sign Language Interpreters are professionals trained to facilitate communication between deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and those who do not use American Sign Language (ASL). They convert spoken language into ASL and vice versa, ensuring that information is accurately conveyed in settings such as schools, medical appointments, legal proceedings, and public events. Their work requires a deep understanding of both English and ASL, as well as cultural sensitivity to bridge communication gaps effectively.
