Welcome Interpreters
for the Hearing Impaired!
Interpreters for the Hearing Impaired who work in schools, sometimes
called educational interpreters, serve as the communication link between deaf
and hearing individuals in school settings. Since the preferred mode of
communication of students with hearing impairments may vary, there are a variety
of educational interpreting methods. These include translating spoken language
into a signed system such as American Sign Language, silently mouthing the
complete verbal message or its paraphrased equivalent, or using a cued speech
method. Regardless of the mode used, the primary responsibility of the
interpreter is to make communication as clear as possible for the student and
for those who interact with the student. ( (
