    two deaf co workers in same dept./interpreter issues

    Oh they are not "personal interpreters", they are professional, it may look that way to look like we have personal interpreters. The said co worker has a technical requirement for her meetings and wants same interpreters to be familiar with terminology and vocabulary. (in my opinion...

    Why are hearing co workers so afraid to talk to deaf co worker?
