Re: interpreter role
Posted by sue on 11/30/07

    I subbed in an ASl class and they had five deaf students. No
    interpreter. It was a little scarry. But, I got through the day
    without one. I can sign a little bit but, don't know enough that
    I can sign everything. Don't know why there was no interpreter.
