Are you a deaf interpreter who can provide ASL translation, either live or recorded? Whether it’s for an emergency press briefing or a work meeting, we know people are looking for YOU to provide access. The NAD and National Deaf Interpreters (NDI) partnered together to address this critical gap of ensuring the public can easily access a directory with this information.
