About 

Barry Samuels is a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA), as he was born into a family with two deaf parents. As Barry grew older, he quickly adapted to the deaf culture and he was motivated to use his experience to help others. Over the last 25+ years, he has devoted his life to honing his interpreting and tactile skillset, investing in further education and certifications, providing on-site interpreting (OSI) across various settings, developing and initiating trainings and workshops and providing video remote interpreting (VRI).
