Michelle A. Maphey wants to nurture understanding for the north country deaf community.

The sign language interpreter owns her own business in addition to the American Sign Language classes she teaches at Jefferson Community College.

“When interpreters are not asked to be there, they leave out a chunk of the population,” Mrs. Maphey said. “The language is more visual. Since it is getting up and going, some people will see it as a necessity for equal access for the deaf community, a linguistic minority.”
