According to the Deaf Interpreter Institute, what is the definition of a deaf translator, interpreter, and guide-interpreter?

A deaf translator, interpreter, and guide-interpreter is a specialist who offers interpretation, translation, and transliteration services in American Sign Language [or any other sign language] and other forms of visual and tactile communication used by individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deafblind.
As a Deaf person, the Deaf interpreter has a distinct set of linguistic, cultural, and life-forming experiences that allow for varied understanding and interaction in a wide range of visual language and communication forms influenced by region, culture, age, literacy, education, class, and physical, cognitive, and mental health.
These experiences, together with professional training [only available outside Brazil], give the Deaf interpreter the ability to successfully communicate in all types of interpretation interactions, both common and high-risk.
