Whether you are a qualified or an aspiring ASL interpreter, you work closely with many different clients who are deaf on the job.

This session will outline the top 10 expectations that clients wish their interpreters knew they had, and on the lighter side, explore the 5 common profiles of deaf individuals that qualified ASL interpreters face on the job daily.
