When it comes to American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation, there are a few different styles available for different situations. Just like how we use different language between friends versus our coworkers, it’s the same for ASL!
For example, there are specialized music interpreters that interpret at concerts or live events, interpreting services that are dedicated to medical appointments and hospital contexts, and community interpreting for local appointments and conferences.
When you’re looking for an ASL interpreter, whether you need one for yourself or for an event you’re putting on, it can be puzzling to figure out where to start. For pro interpreting in Canada, Wavefront Centre has you covered.
Our sign language interpreters are professionally qualified, highly skilled members of the Canadian Association of Visual Language Interpreters (CASLI). For top-tier Deaf interpreters, we can match you with the best kind of interpreter for your specific situation.
