Communicate Clear Understanding: Certified Deaf Interpreters (CDI)
Cultural competency in a signed space refers to a hearing or Deaf interpreters’ ability to effectively communicate the messages and perspectives of a cultural group. This creates trust between the Deaf individual and the interpreter and makes all parties feel comfortable. Ad Astra prides itself on this extra step.
Paired with a hearing ASL interpreter, the CDI’s presence allows for a deeper sense of trust, comfort, and authenticity in the communicated message amongst the Deaf community. Integrating CDIs into more visible events will ensure better communication and a better reception from the audience.
