The main reason is there is no way to assess the family members’ skill. This can lead to an inaccurate interpretation or even omission of important information. Professional interpreters are familiar with terminology specific jobs, follow a code of professional ethics, and must remain impartial and have strict adherence to confidentiality.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 established laws to protect people with disabilities from discrimination. Specifically for Deaf and hard of hearing individuals, the ADA states:
“No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns, leases (or leases to), or operates a place of public accommodation.”
Additionally, discrimination includes:
“…a failure to take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, segregated or otherwise treated differently than other individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services…”
The ADA definition of “auxiliary aids and services” includes “qualified interpreters or other effective methods of making aurally delivered materials available to individuals with hearing impairments.”
According to the ADA, it is usually up to the institution in question to provide — and pay for — any necessary sign language interpreting. If an institution does not comply by providing ASL interpreting to meet the needs of a Deaf individual, it may suffer serious penalties.
