Sometimes the client (Deaf or Hard of Hearing person) has a unique approach to communicating. Maybe they are from another country and haven't learned ASL fluently yet. Maybe they are difficult for you to understand. Lots of gestures and less standard ASL use. Maybe it is a child and the language isn't developed enough for you to interpret acurrately. A DI relays the info between the client and the regular hearing interpreter, to facilitate, clarify and ensure effective communication.

Why would you have 2 interpreters? I understand the 'cdi' certified part and then the 'di' deaf interpreter, but why would there be 2 intrepreters? Learnign soemthing new everyday! Expanding my mind... |
