Deaf-Blind Interpreting

What is Deaf-Blind Interpreting?

A Personalized Approach to Communication.

Deaf-Blind interpreting uses tactile sign language, close-vision signing, or tracking to communicate with individuals who have combined hearing and vision loss. Our interpreters work one-on-one to create a communication experience tailored to the individual’s level of vision and comfort. This service is often used in educational, medical, legal, and community settings. In addition to Interpreters, we can provide you with Co-Navigators (CNs) and Support Service Providers (SSPs) when extra support is needed. 

Where These Services Are Used

Medical Appointments

Support patients during exams, hospital visits, or therapy sessions.

Legal Settings

Ensure full participation in courtrooms, legal consultations, or public hearings.

Our Commitment to the DeafBlind Community
