Yes! This center has CDIs! The procedure of using the CDI is the same to what we do in America, but CDIs in South Korea are often used by Deaf Senior Citizens because of the lack of access to Education when they were younger. They did not have access to written language back then. So, they way of communicating and thinking in Korean Sign Language is different from what hearing Koreans can understand and that becomes the problem. That’s when the CDI comes in to facilitate that communication among the Deaf person, KSL interpreter and the hearing person.

South Korea DOES have Video Relay Services (VRS) funded by their government just like us in America. They even have products, apps and more for their service providers. Not only that, they also have regions for their services. (Psst—South Korea is more strong in using Samsung products rather than Apple products)

The bottom line is that it is just so awesome to see that Deaf Koreans do have the same access to communicating with hearing people in multiple forms. It’s a good feeling to know that the USA is not the only one with full access to VRS.
