I'm not sure what word you are looking for unless it is ADA. But if the childbirth classes are conducted through the hospital, then the hospital is responsible for hiring an interpreter. They have to insure that any services they offer, such as childbirth classes or seminars on other health issues, are accessible. This is guaranteed through Federal law.

However, if the childbirth class is offered by another organization that has fewer than 15 employees, they are exempted from the ADA and don't have to make accommodations.

The first thing to find out is who is sponsoring the childbirth classes.
