The basic ability to communicate with others is something that we should cherish more. It is the easiest way to make friends, convey your own feelings, and clear up misunderstandings. Unfortunately, verbal communication is not available to everyone, and those that are not able to can easily feel like outsiders. Frustration, loneliness, and distrust can commonly accompany them, and despite their best efforts to communicate, the message sometimes is not received.
American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation services bridges this gap and helps facilitate communication for members of the hard-of-hearing and mute communities. Their services are vital for a number of reasons, but can be key in including these marginalized groups in essential conversations such as education, employment, legal settings, and healthcare. Perhaps the most important reason ASL interpretation services are sought after is because they convey needed information in real time, without the need to respond to written or typed propositions.
These services help more individuals participate in society, offering their perspectives, insights, beliefs, and thoughts to be understood by a wider audience. Everyone wants to be listened to, and these services help these communities be heard. San Antonio, Texas seeks to aid in this goal by soliciting proposals from Sign Language services firms to provide on-site and/or scheduled remote simultaneous Sign Language interpreter services.
