Interpreters
	Students requiring sign language interpreters to facilitate communication in the classroom can ask several questions to determine if the services provided by the postsecondary institution will meet their communication needs.
	1)  How many interpreters are available to interpret for students?
	2)  Are interpreters available for evening/weekend classes and extracurricular (on campus/off campus) activities?
	3)  What are the qualifications of the interpreters (state certification/licensure or national)?
	4)  Can the interpreters accommodate a wide range of signing abilities (ASL, Signed English, PSE)?  Are Cues Speech interpreters available, if needed?
	5)  Are the interpreters on staff or contracted?
	Additional Activities/Resources:
	Refer to the Additional Activities/Resources in Section H. Facilitators who chose to incorporate various sign language interpreters into the presentation, can ask for audience responses at this time.  Record and tally the sign language preferences of the audience.  How may preferred ASL, English, Pidgin Sign English, Cued Speech?  Were some individuals comfortable with more than one option?  Relate the findings to the current discussion on questions to ask the postsecondary institution with regards to interpreters.
