Working with an interpreter

by lette @ 2:16 pm. Filed under Misc

I will be working with an interpreter next year, I was still only thinking about it when I heard from the interpreter yesterday and said that it already has been confirmed for next year…

thing is, My understanding and reading of sign is very good, but my production of sign is crap to say the least, but I dont really need to because I have my voice and im not afraid to use it! So I will be combining lipreading, sign and speaking to make it through my degree next year. Will it work?

I have never worked with a terp before, but I know her and her sign is very clear and I understand her very good, but I am just a bit nervous as I usually stick to myself in college to get things done, having someone with me all the time is going to be different, any sugestions for a newbie with a terp?

cheers.

"I have always thought it would be a blessing if each person could be blind and deaf for a few days during his early adult life. Darkness would make him appreciate sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound." -Helen Keller
