Abstract

This presentation addresses the role of interpreters and Deaf students' autonomy in K-12 mainstream classrooms. This workshop explores Deaf individuals' and interpreters' perspectives on the interpreters' role and approaches to working together, which were taken from individual and group interviews. This workshop highlights issues interpreters and Deaf students face, such as role confusion and conflict. Strategies for enhancing interpersonal communication and collaboration between interpreters, Deaf students, and educational team members will be discussed and shared.
