enomakos:there is none for now because of communication. It would be expensive to hire asl interpreters . And also the organisers feel DIRECT communication is needed between the officials and athletics. But there is deaflypians for deaf which is older than paralypics. I am a hearing asl interpreter in lagos. Looking for a interpreting or other job also. What about you |

The Deaflympics were given the same status as the Paralympics Games and Olympic Games. Through a Sign Language Interpreter https://translatehub.org/how-much-asl-interpreters-make/ , Deaf players can join in on hearing sports. Good Interpreter services are essential for full participation. |
