Question: How can I hire an interpreter

Answer: Interpreting agencies and referral services may be listed in the phone book, but another way to find them is to consult the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf database website. Under "Search Tools," select either "Find an Interpreter/Member" or "Find Interpreter Agency/Referral Service." Some state agencies or regional resource centers for the deaf/hard of hearing may also have interpreter referral services. About.com has an interpreter "directory." Gallaudet University's Info to Go maintains a listing of statewide services.
