Adults with hearing differences who utilize sign language as their communication mode require licensed sign language interpreters for events, meetings, appointments etc. Students with hearing differences also require a licensed interpreter for any event, meeting, appointment, etc. that are not sponsored by the school.
Identify yourself and your agency.
Ask if the interpreter is available to interpret at the specific time that you need someone. Do not disclose any confidential information until the interpreter has stated that they are available.
If the interpreter is available for that date and time, give the interpreter the confidential information regarding location, deaf client's name, type of setting, etc.
