Equal opportunities for all – how to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing people
There are about half a million deaf people living in Poland – this is a considerable number. We have at our disposal the following tools for non-verbal communication with deaf and hard of hearing people:
- experienced interpreters of Polish Sign Language and Signed Polish
- experienced interpreters of other European sign languages
- videos with recorded sign language interpreting
- conference webcasting with sign language interpreting
- video versions of different documents (e.g. patient leaflets, educational materials) translated into sign language
The right of deaf people to be provided with sign interpretation
The Act on sign language and other communication aids (Journal of Laws 2011 No. 209, item 1243) came into force on 1 April 2012. Under the Act, any deaf or hard of hearing person has the right to have a sign language interpreter.
Helping deaf people to communicate is the duty of public administration bodies, healthcare institutions, Police units and other institutions listed in the Act. They should ensure that eligible persons can exercise their right to freely use the selected form of communication.
Although non-verbal communication tools were not used on a wider scale in Poland until some time ago, they are now becoming more and more common. Television stations use the services of sign language interpreters when broadcasting news programmes. Some museums also use sign language interpreting services. Drug manufacturers use Braille when providing information on drug packaging. Maybe you, your company or institution would like to use tools to communicate with blind people (Braille) or deaf people (sign translation)? If you are considering taking such actions, feel free to contact us. Take advantage of our knowledge and experience in providing this type of services.

A sign language interpreter from Lidex and your benefits
If you are organising an event – on-site, hybrid or online, intended for a wide audience – consider providing sign language interpretation. Will you need a sign language interpreter? A Polish Sign Language (PJM) interpreter? Or maybe an online sign language interpreter? Which sign language interpreter should you choose? Sign language interpreter – what is their hourly rate? We know the answers to these questions – we have many years of experience in providing sign language interpretation:
- during conference events – on-site and hybrid ones
- in parallel with interpreting to European and non-European languages
- with content recording and editing
We will advise you on the best solutions and select appropriate sign language interpreters.
Making your event available to deaf people is a natural form of equalising opportunities and an example of action for sustainable development, as well as an opportunity to expand your audience. It is a reason to be proud, as well as a motivation for your industry to follow in your footsteps towards equalising opportunities and meeting the needs of people with disabilities.
Be open to the needs of deaf and hard of hearing people by providing them with sign language communication. Give them easy access to your messages, trainings, ideas, your offer, and the knowledge you propagate.
