Interpreters (Oral – In person)

This service requires working directly with an individual who does not speak English. Oral interpreters may be required in departmental facilities within YES Prep, in public facilities, in the client’s residence, and/or in authorized service provider facilities.

Interpreters for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (Sign Language): This service involves the interpretation of verbal language into a communication mode understandable by individuals who are unable to adequately hear. It also involves the interpretation of Sign Language into verbal language. YES Prep is seeking Proposers who are able to provide American Sign Language (ASL), and other forms of sign language that more closely mirror the clients’ natural form of communication. For clients who are blind and deaf, a tactile interpreter Will be required. Interpretive services could involve working directly with a single client or providing ASL or other forms of primarily non-oral communication to a public audience for the benefit of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Interpreters must speak English, with other translation languages, to facilitate communication between the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and the service providers.
