Why sign language interpreting?
Hearing impairments shouldn’t make it hard to communicate our thoughts with ease.
In business, personal, and educational settings, communicating ideas should never be impeded due to a hearing disability.
Through our in-person sign language interpreting service, NWI Global empowers people to freely communicate regardless of their ability to hear words.
This is critical to giving everyone equal access in educational settings. It’s imperative during legal proceedings. It’s a must-have during a community crisis, where vital information must be shared.
It is also an absolute necessity in healthcare environments when clear and open communication between physicians and patients can mean life or death.
