Do you know how American Sign Language Interpreters help in an emergency? American Sign Language, or ASL, Interpreters are trained professionals who translate spoken messages into visual messages using facial expressions and their hands. During an emergency, ASL interpreters translate spoken information from government leaders and first responders into sign language to communicate with people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.
