Over 90% of deaf parents have hearing children, and it’s an all-too-familiar scenario when these parents are forced to use their children to interpret for them. Meet Mandi and her parents. Like you, they try to do the right thing but ultimately deserve better. Don’t accept anything less than a certified, qualified interpreter for the appointments that matter most.
