Did you know that the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities has not one but four American Sign Language interpreters working on staff? These interpreters make up what we call our Communication Access Team. The Communication Access Team provides ASL interpretation for public and private city events and meetings, from the Taste of Chicago stage to the mayor’s press conference on breaking news. The Communication Access Team also interprets for people in Chicago who are Deaf or hard of hearing and use ASL.
On All Access, the official MOPD podcast, we speak to the interpreters on our Communication Access Team about their careers and their favorite assignments. MOPD Commissioner Rachel Arfa introduces the conversation speaking to the significance of inclusion for people who are Deaf and hard of hearing, as the first member of a Mayor’s cabinet in the United States who is Deaf or hard of hearing.
