Interpreters for Tots
With the advent of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the majority preschool age children who are deaf and hard of hearing are currently served in public schools, in regular and special education classrooms. Some have been provided an interpreter, or other professional providing communication access. This presentation will discuss: At what age should a child be totally dependent on an interpreter in the classroom? Will a three-year-old be able to fully access the curriculum when an interpreter is employed? How do we determine the student readiness to successfully use an educational interpreter? Should an educational interpreter have special training to work with the pre-school population and what would that look like? On the child’s IEP, how is the interpreter listed- aide, communication facilitator, interpreter? These questions and others were explored when developing a survey for interpreters and their work with preschoolers.
- Describe critical issues related to children ages 3-5 in mainstream settings who utilize interpreting services.
- Identify the gaps in evidence-based practices related to interpreting for preschool children.
- Discuss issues related to interpreter training programs as it related to providing services for preschool children.
