SuperTalk MS - Good Things with Rebecca Turner - Ben Wagenknecht, ODHH Director and Jennifer Gray, MDRS Director of Communication talking about the Will You Be Their Voice campaign for interpreters in the state of Mississippi. American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters are crucial in Mississippi to ensure full access and equity for the Deaf and hard‑of‑hearing community. According to the National Census of the Deaf Population, there’s approximately a 50:1 ratio of Deaf or hard‑of‑hearing ASL users to certified interpreters. This shortage deeply affects access to education, healthcare, legal representation, and emergency services.

What can you do to help the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community? Be their voice! Become an ASL interpreter today! Contact ODHH.
