the law in USA requires that we are to be provided for interpeters for any needs, and U are right abt not wanting to rely on ur family for interpeting needs they will NOT interpet FULLY cuz they also have other people talking to them and say * oh i ll tell u later* which is not fair for us who wants to be involved, ITS important to have interpeter fully on call for anything and i mean ANYTHING, if ur country isn t providing this for u, u should make a sound *vocalization* to fight for your rights, ANd i dont blame any cilents who don t want to feel like they can't do anything when they CAN do anything, cuz we deaf poeple have the right to be heard and seen not to be degraded into the MOST important needs, NO matter what, agencies MUST bill the hosptials, or dr.s office or courts or other areas of means for interpter needs, not deprive them of that! We need to be fully informed NOT rejected on account of money!
