The interpretative services discipline is a diverse community with new ideas/concepts emerging all the time. Because of this diversity, it is difficulty to be cognizant on all of the applicable technology available to assist the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. In an effort to help NAWCAD provide the necessary services to our Deaf and Hard of Hearing employees, this RFI has been made available to the interpretative services community to provide NAWCAD with information and capability in support of its mission to facility professional sign language/oral/tactile interpreting/transliterating services.
