Interpreting Services
Sign language interpreting is the process of facilitating communication between individuals whose native language is spoken English and those whose native language is American Sign Language or another manual communication system (i.e., Signed Exact English, Pidgen Sign Language, etc.). An educational interpreter acts as an intermediary in a communication-related situation so that participants, both deaf and hearing can understand each other.
Full time educational interpreters are employed by Intermediate Unit 1 to support our students with deafness in the school environment. Interpreting services are a requisite to ensure that our students are included in all activities and functions within the educational community.
Educational interpreters are required to attain a minimum score of a least 3.5 on the EIPA.
