Deaf celebrities, including Marlee Matlin, have also urged the White House to include qualified sign language interpreters at its briefings.
"[E]veryone deserves to have equal access to the government and I am glad to see that this effort is only getting stronger," Rep. Takano said. "As the representative for the California School for the Deaf in Riverside, California, I want to make sure that all of my constituents' needs are taken into consideration and are advocated for in Congress."
The NAD's chief executive officer, Howard Rosenblum, told Business Insider that, while White House briefings are live-captioned, and captioning provides crucial access to information about the coronavirus for many deaf and hard of hearing Americans, American Sign Language is a primary language for some of them, whose grammar is distinct from English.
