UTRGV moves to expand its trilingual ASL-English-Spanish interpreter program to serve the Rio Grande Valley's Deaf community
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley is poised to expand its program training trilingual interpreters to improve communication access for Deaf people across the Valley. Deaf lecturer Eric Cardenas, a Gallaudet graduate who returned home in 2018 to help build the program, says the region still faces an ASL interpreter shortage and wants certified interpreters to become the norm at public meetings and in local news.
