how many states provide sign language interpreters
One problem is that there do not appear to be any sign language interpreter training programs in South Africa, said McGraw. In the United States there are close to 200, said McGraw. U.S. certification standards for American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters are quite stringent. Interpreters are required to have at least a Bachelor of Arts and to have completed a certification program through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf or a state registration body, said McGraw.
