FAQ’S
WHEN DO I NEED TO REQUEST AN INTERPRETER?
Sign language interpreters are needed when you communicate with a D/deaf individual whose primary source of communication is sign language. Always ask the D/deaf person first if an interpreter is needed. A D/deaf person who is competent in English when writing, reading and speaking may still want an interpreter for more complex or technical situations to ensure effective communication. Lip reading for some D/deaf people is taxing and is not a reliable means of understanding a conversation in its entirety.
CAN THE D/deaf PERSON BRING IN THEIR OWN INTERPRETER?
It is not recommended. Professional interpreters are trained and must abide by RID’s professional Code of Conduct. This will ensure message accuracy, impartiality and confidentiality.
IS THERE ALWAYS A TWO HOUR MINIMUM?
Many assignments require a two hour minimum however we are more than happy to come up with an agreement that fits your needs.
