Sign language interpreting makes communication possible between people who are deaf or hard of hearing and people who can hear. Interpreting is a complex process that requires a high degree of linguistic, cognitive and technical skills in both English and American Sign Language (ASL).
Sign language interpreting, like spoken language interpreting, involves more than replacing a word of spoken English with a signed representation of that English word. ASL has its own grammatical rules, sentence structure and cultural differences. Interpreters must thoroughly understand the subject matter in which they work so that they are able to convert information from one language, known as the source language, into another, known as the target language.
In addition, interpretations can incorporate cultural information associated with the languages used. For more information, go to:

Cued Speech is a mode of communication based on the phonemes and properties of traditionally spoken languages. Cueing allows users who are deaf or hard of hearing or who have language/communication disorders to access the basic, fundamental properties of spoken languages through the use of vision.
