a platform for information about the profession of ASL interpreting
Discover Interpreting was established from a grant issued by the U.S. Department of Education Rehabilitation Services Administration, CFDA 84.160A and 84.160B, as a response to the ASL interpreter shortage. This is an excellent tool to help inspire individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in the field of interpreting, close the “gap” between graduation and certification, and to increase the number of qualified interpreters.
DI will be your platform for offering resources and insight to the profession of interpreting. You can find online articles from RID VIEWS, JOI, CATIE Center, Gallaudet University and much more. With tremendous resources and links to help students and aspiring interpreters learn where to start, and how to connect with the community in order to succeed.

Interpreters Say
“I would say the type of work that I enjoy the most is not so much a setting as it is the results. …when I’m in a doctor’s office and the doctor just looks at me and says ‘Wow. I really understand my patient’, it’s that look in the eye when it connects, when it works. That’s what’s important to me in the job…”
