ASL Interpreter Services

Our robust American Sign Language interpretation services are guided by our internal Deaf Leadership team. With some 600k Deaf individuals in America, it is our mission to ensure that they have language access through a trained, certified and pre-certified ASL interpreter for any situation.

We consult with the Deaf community to make sure our practices and approach are in line with their needs.

When assigning a sign language interpreter to a Deaf student or patient there are a variety of variables to consider such as cultural and linguistic competency and subject matter expertise. You always want to make sure the assigned ASL interpreter is the best possible fit.

Language. Diversity. Culture. Community.

What is a culturally competent ASL Interpreter?

Cultural competency in a signed space refers to a hearing or Deaf interpreters’ ability to effectively communicate the messages and perspectives of a cultural group.  This creates trust between the individual and the interpreter and makes all parties feel comfortable.  This extra step is something Ad Astra prides itself on.

 

Hiring a CDI (Certified Deaf Interpreter)

Paired with a hearing ASL interpreter, the CDI’s presence allows for a deeper sense of trust, comfort and authenticity in the communicated message amongst Deaf populations. Integrating CDIs into more visible events will ensure better communication and a better reception from the audience.
