Post: interpreter role

Posted by mom on 11/14/07

    A friend of mine has a deaf daughter who attends regular
    school. Everything was fine until middle school this year.
    One interpreter is also the hearing impaired teacher and
    special ed case manager. The relationship between student
    and teacher/interpreter has been strained and is getting
    worse. The student finally requested a meeting with the
    principal to talk about her problems with the teacher--and
    that teacher was also the interpreter for that meeting.
    There are issues re: the tty--the school only has one and
    it is in the hearing impaired teacher's classroom. She
    leaves (and locks the door) while the student is still at
    school some days. (So apparently no tty in nurse's office,
    counselor's office, main office).

    My question is about having one person carry out three
    different roles--or even two since special ed teachers are
    usually the case managers. How does this affect neutrality
    of the interpreter?
