The use of Deaf Interpreters (DIs) has become increasingly common in the interpreting profession.
DIs work in collaboration with Certified Hearing Interpreters (CHIs) as most often DIs are native, or near-native, users of American Sign Language (ASL) using the language as their first language (L1) while most often CHIs are secondary users as ASL is their second language (L2).
Together, in an interdependent relationship, Deaf and Hearing Interpreters form Deaf-Hearing teams; working side by side to navigate the unique intricacies of language and cultural mediation in a wide variety of settings for a wide variety of audiences.
DIs are often overlooked as a resource in K-12 settings. With the demands in the educational setting, the information gathered from this research study reveals the roles, responsibilities, and benefits of DI-HI teams with a review of the implications for teaching future Deaf Interpreters enrolled in Training Programs throughout the US.

Participants will be able to:
- Identify three roles taken on by Deaf Interpreters in the K-12 setting
- Identify three benefits of having Deaf Interpreters in the K-12 setting
- Identify three ways that Training Programs can prepare future interpreters (deaf and hearing both) to work in a collaborative teaming relationship in the educational setting
