Children of Deaf Adults were likely the first sign language interpreters, as they would have grown up using sign language to communicate with their Deaf parents. Additionally, professional interpreters with masters degrees in sign language interpreting have also played a significant role in the development and establishment of sign language interpreting as a profession.
