Working with an Interpreter (Captioned) | Adult Hearing Centre for Deaf and Hearing Impaired Persons | ACMI collection

How do you work with an interpreter? As deaf people take their place in the 1980’s, they are asking for and starting to receive professional interpreting services. No longer are they forced to rely on the friend, family member or welfare worker for interpreting.
