Interested in a career as an American Sign Language Interpreter? This is a very rewarding field for the person who has what it takes. Opportunities to learn American Sign Language and programs to learn the techniques of interpretation are more widespread now than ever before.

If your first language is American Sign Language (ASL) or if you are just starting to learn the language, doing some research about the field is highly recommended so that you can make the best choices for you and your career. Two resources to help you are the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) and Discover Interpreting.
