Authors: Cooper, Kelley; Russell, Maggie; Chaiken, Debra; Mazzaroppi, Michael W.; Roman, Gretchen
Abstract: The article discusses how policies and practices in medical settings impact communication access with Deaf patients and caregivers. It highlights the importance of using visual language, providing in-person sign language interpreting, and honoring requests for Deaf-Hearing sign language interpreter teams. The narratives shared underscore the need for flexibility and inclusivity in accommodating the unique linguistic needs of Deaf patients to ensure effective communication and access to quality care in healthcare institutions.
