Course description

According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (2004), interpreters supporting Deaf students are Related Service Providers, in the same category as audiologists and speech professionals (IDEA, Section 300.34). And while it's now more widely understood that educational interpreters are professional providers, what does that really mean? Using a co-creation framework, the presenter will guide participants through activities to untangle our responsibilities as Related Service Providers. How do we document students’ use of services and participate in IEP meetings? This session will allow us to collaboratively share our expertise so we can be more proactive IEP team members.
