What is a Deaf Interpreter?

Who benefits from utilizing Deaf Interpreting services? EVERYONE! From the hearing consumers to the Deaf consumers, and also the hearing interpreters themselves. Imagine being able to learn about another individual in your own language and accent. What the general public don’t realize is that hearing interpreters simply do not have ‘Deaf accent’ in their interpreting/language skills and that does carry a cognitive load on the Deaf consumers. Deaf Interpreters not only help with language facilitation but offer emotional support.
