DEAF INTERPRETING
For more than 10 million Deaf and hard-of-hearing people in the United States, non-verbal communication by use of sign language is a way of life. In the Pacific Northwest alone, the States of Oregon and Washington each estimate that 7% of their population (approximately 365,000 people) are afflicted with "significant hearing loss" requiring the use of a professional Sign Language Interpreter.
In 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act as a way to ensure anyone with disabilities would receive equal treatment and accommodations to assist them in daily interactions with businesses and organizations.
For the Deaf and hard-of-hearing, the ADA provides specific wording as to the requirements for "reasonable accommodations" to include translating and interpreting services. For simple questions or transactions this mandate can be met by passing written notes but when lengthy, complicated, or critical communications are needed, the organization is required to provide a professional Sign Language Interpreter.
