Our beautiful baby girl, Rielyn is now 18 months old and at about 9 months was diagnosed with bilateral profound hearing loss; that later was determined congenital. This means, she was born deaf and it was missed at her infant screening. Her hearing aids are not working for her so we have no other option to give her the best life possible and go ahead with cochlear implants. It is a very serious surgery…but she will hear!!!!

Question: What is deaf interpreting

 

Answer: Deaf interpreters are very skilled at communicating information to deaf people, and they usually work together with hearing interpreters. Sometimes a deaf person is unable to use a regular hearing interpreter for a variety of reaons such as:
  • Not having an adequate base in regular sign language
  • Not speaking American version of sign language
  • Not being able to see well
In this type of situation, a certified deaf interpreter may be needed.

The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (www.rid.org) has a Certified Deaf Interpreter program for certifying deaf interpreters
