People with limited English skills and those that are deaf and hard of hearing struggle to communicate every day. They may feel frustrated, intimidated, or isolated. When you interact with diverse communities, clear understanding is vital to the well-being and satisfaction of all those you serve. By bridging these language gaps, your organization not only prompts smiles and imparts relief but can also increase productivity, improve efficiencies, and comply with laws and regulations. Understand everyone you interact with no matter what language they speak.
