Social services interpreting
Social services interpreting is the bedrock of a community. Social services interpreters help social workers improve the lives of children and families who have Limited English Proficiency and are deaf and/or hard-of-hearing. In-person social services interpreting allows for the crucial non-verbal element of communication. Social workers often deal with complex cases, where a miscommunication could negatively affect an outcome. With iTi’s social services interpreting, agencies ensure everyone has the information to make the best decision possible.
Who needs social services interpreting?
The 25 million Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals over the age of 5 can benefit from social services interpreting, as well as the 11 million deaf/hard of hearing people in the U.S. Individuals and/or families with children or parents who are deaf and/or hard-of-hearing or have Limited English Proficiency use social services interpreting to address pressing issues in their daily lives. This could include custody cases, foster care placements, mental wellness, and cases regarding the safety and wellness of children. Social services interpreting enables all clients to openly convey their problems to their social workers without any confusion.
