read moreAmerican Sign Language (ASL) is used by the majority of culturally Deaf people. It is recognized by the State of New York as a language and is taught in schools and universities as a second language. It has its own grammatical rules and structure. The Americans With Disabilities Act was passed in 1990. Before that time, most entities were not required to provide interpreters. Deaf people have gone to doctors and lawyers without an interpreter, or have used their children to interpret for them. Because of this they may not know their or their family's full medical history.
