Hi all,
My best friend is visually impaired and uses a guide dog. She would like to take ASL classes at the local university. She has already studied some ASL through the community college where she used to live.
I suggested she request an interpreter to sit in front of her and re-sign everything that goes on in the classroom. She hadn't thought of that idea, but liked it. Before, she would move around the room, which I think could get distracting to the teacher and students.
Anyone else have any feedback or ideas? She specifically asked what this kind of interpreter is called. I wasn't sure - I suggested she call it a "low vision ASL terp"?
Thanks!
