What Is a Qualified Interpreter?
A “qualified” interpreter is one who can interpret “effectively, accurately, and impartially”. A qualified interpreter must be fluent in spoken English and the language most readily understood by the deaf consumer. This may include ASL and a variety of Signed English systems.
All of our interpreters meet the definition of “qualified” as outlined in the ADA. Most hold certification from the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) and/or Registry of Interpreters of the Deaf (RID).
