Sign Language Interpreter Services

The Vendor is required to provide for Sign Language Interpreter Services through three modalities: In-Person Interpreting (IPI), Virtual Interpreting (VI), and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI).
- Provide Sign Language Services to their clients, employees, and other customers.
- The interpreter is there for both deaf and hearing individuals.
- The act of interpreting occurs when a hearing person speaks, and an interpreter renders the speaker's meaning into sign language, or other forms used by the deaf party (ies) such as tactile communication.
- The interpreting also happens in reverse: when a deaf person signs, an interpreter renders the meaning expressed in the signs into the oral language for the hearing party, which is sometimes referred to as voice interpreting or voicing.
- A Deaf Interpreter is required to ensure effective communication takes place.
