Interpreters
The Deaf and Hard of Hearing program provides interpreters to students in mainstream classes, in after-school activities, for sports, and at all performances and assemblies.
Interpreters all have EIPA certificates at the standard level or above. Many of the interpreters also hold a State of Illinois license which is needed to interpret for adults. Currently, there are interpreters who also hold the NIC and the OTC certifications from RID.
The interpreters make sure that all information is accessible to all the students, Deaf staff members, and Deaf and Hard of Hearing parents and community members.
