I want to be registered as a Deaf Interpreter(Required)

Deaf Interpreters are sign language interpreters who are Deaf. Their fluency in ISL and a deep and intimate knowledge of the Deaf community support the interpretation of meaning, bridging linguistic or cultural barriers. They most often work in tandem with hearing interpreters to bring greater understanding and clarity, in situations such as interpreting between two signed languages, working with people with special needs or Deafblind interpreting, particularly in legal, medical or mental health settings
