About ASLIA Incorporated in 1978, ASLIA (formerly known as ACRID) is a
registered, non-profit society whose members are professional
sign language interpreters who provide quality interpreting
services to hearing, hard of hearing, and Deaf individuals.
Nationally, ASLIA is affiliated with the Association of Visual
Language Interpreters of Canada, AVLIC, which promotes
networking among existing interpreter organizations and
nurtures the development of the vibrant interpreting profession.
The encouragement, support and active collaboration that we
receive from Deaf and Hard of Hearing organizations
and individuals contributes immeasurably to every phase of
ASLIA’s work.
ASLIA Mission Statement The Association of Sign Language Interpreters of Alberta is a
provincial association which represents its membership and
advances the sign language interpreting profession by pro-
moting the provision of high quality service through the en-
dorsement of ethical practices, standards and the continuing
development of interpreting skills, underlying knowledge and
professional growth.
PAGE 3
Active Membership Individuals who have graduated from an interpreter education
program, or meet defined criteria, and are currently involved in the
provision of sign language interpreting are eligible for active member-
ship in ASLIA. Active members are also affiliated with the national
organization, AVLIC, and have completed a written test of knowledge
(WTK). Disclaimer The Association of Sign Language Interpreters of Alberta has agreed to
provide this list of members who have varying experiences in providing
interpreting services for hearing and d/Deaf consumers.
The association is not in a position to guarantee the qualifications of
any ASLIA member nor are we responsible for any errors or difficulties
in the interpreting process that may arise in connection with the
services they provide.
INTERPRETERS An interpreter may be requested when two or more people, or groups,
do not share a common language in order to communicate with each
other. Qualified interpreters possess formal training, sophisticated
language fluency, and are familiar with communication norms across a
broad range of settings. At times, the services of a Deaf interpreter may be required in order to
meet the communication needs of the parties involved in a particular
setting. A Deaf interpreter is a native signer; possess training and is a
recognized member of the Deaf community. A Deaf interpreter/s can
be used in various settings and is an integral part of the interpreting
team.
PAGE 4
Hiring a member of ASLIA ensures that the interpreter you hire has
graduated from an Interpreter Education Program or has
satisfactorily met this standard through other experience as
deemed by AVLIC and the Affiliate Chapters. As a condition of
membership, ASLIA members have agreed to abide by, and are
accountable to, the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Professional
Conduct. Ultimately, through membership, the interpreter
demonstrates a commitment to the profession and strives to
uphold a high standard of service.
In addition to asking for an interpreter/s who is a member of ASLIA,
the following questions may assist you in finding the appropriate
interpreter/s for your situation:
Certification with AVLIC (Certificate of Interpretation, COI)
Accreditation (provincial and/or employer screenings)
Years of experience
Areas of experience/expertise
Familiarity with nature and format of the appointment
When contacting interpreters it is important to provide the date,
time, duration, location and nature of the appointment. Names of
participants remain confidential until the interpreter establishes if
they are appropriate for the setting and if they are available, at
which point particulars can be discussed before confirming services.
At times, a team of interpreters (2 or more interpreters working
cooperatively) may be required due to the length of the assignment,
the number of consumers or the complexity of the task. It is
important to consult with the interpreter/s when determining the
need for more than one interpreter.
