Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

The following procedures will be utilized by the agency in providing interpreter services to deaf and hard of hearing individuals, including staff. Deaf and hard of hearing individuals vary considerably in terms of their receptive and expressive communication skills. Multi-disabled persons such as deaf-blind, deaf-mentally retarded, deaf-cerebral palsy, deaf-spinal injured and deaf-brain injured will have special communication problems presenting major challenges for interpreters. It is essential for the deaf or hard of hearing person to receive the most appropriate interpreter for their individual needs. The agency must, in full consultation with the deaf individual, evaluate the interpreting needs of the person prior to the appointment time. Client choice must be considered a priority as the deaf individual know best what their communication level needs involve.
