Why Does My Business Need an ASL Provider?

Introduction

American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters have the ability to level the playing field in a workplace for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, which is why all businesses should have an ASL provider. Not only will an ASL provider benefit your employees, but he or she will also benefit your clients, giving your business a leg up on competitors who are not equipped with the same accessibility services. At Karasch, we understand how crucial it is for businesses to have access to an ASL provider, and here’s why:

Creates an Equal Work Environment

ASL providers in the U.S. are capable of providing accessibility solutions to those who are deaf or hard of hearing in any environment. When it comes to the workplace, there are many sounds, important information and conversations between peers, coworkers and bosses throughout the day, and when these sounds and exchanges are missed, it can make one feel left out and at a disadvantage. However, businesses that provide ASL providers can reduce those feelings and create an equal environment for all of its employees.

Required By Law

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which was created to limit & prohibit discrimination of a person’s disability, giving equal access to all is required. Having an ASL provider who can be accessed whenever needed is an easy—and the most effective—solution that will make your business fulfill this requirement.

Be Ready When Requested

When a person who is deaf or hard of hearing requests an ASL interpreter to be present, they have the right to be provided with one, whether it is for work, healthcare, or litigation situations. Because of this, it is wise for businesses to always be ready to fulfill this request whenever it is made by having an ASL provider.
