Communication Using Remote Language Interpretation for Audiology Services with Spanish-Speaking Parents
EHDI programs continue to struggle with family-friendly, culturally sensitive ways to cross language barriers. This project, initially begun as a quality improvement initiative, looked at the use of two different technology options as possible solutions for remote interpreter services with Spanish-speaking families. Questions were developed to explore parental level of satisfaction with the experience. Additionally, both Audiologists and Interpreters were queried regarding what worked well and what challenges remain.
- Describe communication difficulties encountered when the Audiologist and the client/family do not speak the same language
- Explain two options for remote interpreting
- Identify successes and ongoing challenges from the viewpoint of audiologists, parents and interpreters based on the project results
