Being Deaf, the Deaf Interpreter utilizes a distinct set of formative linguistic, cultural, and life experiences. This enables nuanced comprehension and interaction in a wide range of visual language and communication forms influenced by region, culture, age, literacy, education, socio-economic bearing, and/or physical, cognitive, and mental health. These experiences, coupled with professional training, give the Deaf Interpreter the ability to successfully communicate across all types of interpreted interactions, both routine and high risk.
