What is a Sign Language Interpreter? 

Picture
A Sign Language Interpreter is a professional who interprets between deaf people who use sign language and hearing people who do not know sign language.

Sign language is not universal. In Malta the Sign Language used by the Deaf Community is called Maltese Sign Language or Lingwa tas-Sinjali Maltija (LSM), in the UK Deaf people use British Sign Language (BSL) and in the USA Deaf people use American Sign Language (ASL).

Sign Language Interpreters work with a wide range of people in every possible setting - wherever deaf people are found. A typical week can include work in educational, work-related, health, legal, recreational and community settings!
