...Interpretation is very important because it's the bridge. It helps bridge people through language. And of course #signlanguage does that as well. Because it opens a #bridge into the #deaf community.

Amalia Gamio Rios: Not having qualified and enough #signlanguageinterpreter in all the services offered to the public is clearly a "Discrimination on the basis of disability" because #Signlanguage is a powerfull toll to avoid discrimination. @AmaliaGamio

#Deafchildren do not have ‘language’ problems, they have language access problems. For deaf children to receive a full education, give them access to their national sign language(s) and they can and will acquire language just like hearing children do. @shirleyliu_au #IDSL
