Professional Sign Language Interpreters and Translators
ASLI, the Association of Sign Language Interpreters and Translators in the United Kingdom, was established in 1987 to provide professional discussion on all issues related to sign language interpreting and the provision of interpreting services. From the beginning our aims have been simple: to encourage good practice in sign language interpreting and to support our fellow professionals.
Our members are Interpreters and Translators, who are appropriately qualified and insured
