Access to information is a fundamental right for all, particularly for deaf or hard of hearing people. Every day it is more important to expand the audience of our events, and an effective way to achieve this is to make them accessible to people with disabilities. So, if for social responsibility, for legal requirements, or for the interest of expanding your audience, you have contemplated the possibility of offering sign language interpretation in your next virtual or face-to-face event, you should consider several aspects.
Sign language interpretation is based on transmitting a message in real-time, to a listener or a deaf person, through a set of signs, gestures, expressions, and movements. Although in each country, deaf people have developed their sign language, there is none equal and they all vary depending on each region since they are transmitted in most cases through family and cultural heritage. Sign language allows the hearing impaired to communicate effectively in a manner analogous to how hearing people communicate with any spoken language.
In ATmedios, we have expert interpreters in Sign Language from several countries (Colombian, Mexican, American, Brazilian, International, and others), with whom we offer accessibility and communication solutions in different environments:
- Corporate sector: meetings, seminars, congresses, or conferences.
- Education sector: workshops, forums, training.
- Cultural sector: concerts and theatre.
- Public and private sector: accountability, reporting, plenary sessions, etc.
If you plan to have a sign language interpreter at your virtual event, make sure your attendees can see it on a good proportion of the screen, in addition to other technical aspects, to ensure proper accessibility to people with disabilities. Contact us for advice.
If you need several interpreters throughout your face-to-face event, ask us about availability in major cities or possible travel nationwide. In other cases, the provision of the service may be remote. We have the best technologies to be able to work with you anywhere.
