I have enjoyed the discussion on communicating with hearing impaired clients
through the phone service. When using an interpreter during my Mother-Baby
visits, I always talk to the client using eye contact, just like the
interpreter wasn't there. It took a while to get used to doing this. Occasionally,
an interpreter will ask me something aside, or ask for a further
clarification of something that I asked the client. I will still try to reframe my
question or statement responding to the client, perhaps using simpler language.
This visits are very lengthy, but I am glad that the services of an
interpreter are available to non-English speaking clients.
