Taster: Talking to a Brick Wall
Do I interpret when Nobody Deaf is Watching?
All of us have experienced moments when our deaf consumers are not watching us. Sometimes we are in a situation where, although there are no deaf people there, we are asked to interpret anyway. I would like to share my perspective on when to interpret and when not to. Of course, there is no universal agreement on this topic, so everything I say should be taken with a grain of salt. Use this discussion as a stimulus to decide where you agree and disagree. If you disagree, see if you can find reasons of your own to show the weaknesses of my reasoning. I am not trying to convince you of my truth, but to help you reflect on why you do what you do, so that your practices will be reasoned ones.
