JUNE: Hearing interpreters may be able to catch some signs but sometimes they may miss something. It could be a facial expression or a little itty bitty signing style. However, as a Deaf person who uses ASL every day — I notice those facial expressions and signing styles all day. I take that information and translate it to give the same meaning. It’s very similar to hearing people with their tone or lack of facial expressions, I also can take that information and translate it back to you with the same meaning.
