>> My name is Jason Quiñones.
I'm an instructor here at the University of Arizona,
and I enjoy the excellent interpreting services I
receive here.
The university employs only certified
and licensed interpreters.
Interpreters are certified by the National Registry
of Interpreters for the Deaf or 'RID.'
The state of Arizona requires all interpreters working
in Arizona to be licensed.
Certification and licensure require interpreters
to have a bachelor's degree and to participate
in continuing education.
Many interpreters also hold additional qualifications
such as legal interpreting certificates or graduate
and professional degrees.
This video will focus on how
to effectively work with an interpreter.
Due to the nature of the interpreting process,
the deaf person receives the spoken message a little later
than others in attendance.
You can help accommodate this delay by allowing more time
for questions and transitions.
Encourage appropriate turn-taking from speakers
so that only one person is speaking at a time.
The interpreter should be in the line of sight
between you and the deaf person.
The interpreter and the deaf person will need appropriate
lighting in order to see one another.
When reading out loud in class, it is helpful
to project the reading on a screen
so that the deaf person can follow.
Professional sign language interpreters follow the code
of professional conduct outlined by RID.
That means that you can expect interpreters
to keep interactions confidential,
not share personal information, not provide personal opinions,
counsel or advice and not participate
in class discussions or activities.
Interpreters work in teams for accuracy and support.
Questions for the interpreter are welcome,
before and after the interpreting assignment.
It is appropriate and polite to ask the deaf person directly
about American Sign Language, their communication preferences,
or to discuss any concerns.
Speak directly to the deaf person
and don't say things like, "Tell him or her..."
This university welcomes deaf people on campus,
whether students, faculty, staff or visitors.
Effectively utilizing interpreting services helps
ensure that deaf individuals and those
with whom they interact have more meaningful access
to communication.
