The National Center for Interpretation is pleased to announce a webinar designed for translators of all languages!
This webinar will provide an overview of the duties of speech and language pathologists and describe best practices on how interpreters can assist them in completing their tasks when they are unable to communicate with their clients directly due to a language barrier. The latter includes interviews with clients and families, assessing the client, and assisting in reporting results as well as in implementing therapy. The presentation will also include an explanation of the various role boundaries for the interpreter during these sessions. Specific terminology and essential terms interpreters need to master in order to interpret effectively for speech-language pathology professionals will also be described.
