Interpreters aren't there to "help" - they're there to bridge two people or groups of people between at least two different languages or two different communication modes... keep that in mind  . |
Question: But isn't a terp (of any language, manual or vocal) facilitating,
aiding, the communicative process between a Deaf/HOH person and a hearie? Is that thinking wrong? If so, please explain why it is so. It sounds fine to me...it does not put either side- hearie or Deaf/HOH down does it??
