Katherine,
RE: interpreters
you may also want to check out the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf's
website at www.rid.org. There are several "best practices" posted on the
website. AVLIC is the Canadian equivelant. Their website is www.avlic.ca.
Best of luck,

Diversity is the sometimes painful awareness that other people, other races,
other voices, other habits of mind, have as much integrity of being, as much
claim on the world as you do. And I urge you, amid all the differences
present to the eye and mind, to reach out to create the bond that... will
protect us all. We are meant to be here together.
