thank you so much for ir tips about interpter.. and i wonder my lawyer refuse bring interpter i have to bring my interprter or my sibling i had no chooice. I know it sound wrongdoing but if lawyer will bring interpter it will bill me high i dont want that.. i was very frustation this case since three years and half i guess my lawyer dont know deep about ada law.. so in court alway require have interpter that good thing aba judge pay for it but i want private with lawyer it impossible.. i wonder do u have any idea about this..
YES, you have an absolute RIGHT to have an interpreter to meet with you lawyer. The lawyer is required to pay for the interpreter at no cost to you. You need a PROFESSIONAL interpreter, your sibling or parent is not impartial. DO NOT let your lawyer get away with this! He is wrong. If you need more help contact NAD or your local interpreter agency. They are used to advocating for stuff like this.
thank you for sharing your advice with us as from my experiences I was always able to get interpreters when I was in the hospitals 24 hrs/3 days and again 2weeks as I emphasized by the ADA and Deaf Rights but sometimes the doctor or hospital would not listen to me as a patient so I would give copies of the laws of ADA, Rehab 1972, the United States Constitution amendment 14th and any other resources to contact the National Law Center for the Deaf a bout our rights to have interpreters and that the Office of Management can ask IRS about the tax exempt to pay for interpreter services not to have the deaf people pay the fees. It works out good so hope more busines, emergency sites will be more aware of providing interpreters is helpful for effective communication purposes to be understood by the medical staff and the deaf people better.

Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the TV Digital, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://tv-digital-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.
This is an interesting blog entry. I live in TBay as well, and have just finished my BEd at Lakehead. I have, since I was 17, been interested in teaching the deaf. I was told many moons ago, that it was not possible to teach the deaf if you yourself were hearing. I have since become older and wiser and realized that this is not so. That said, now that I have finished my BEd, I am once again looking into becoming a teacher for the Deaf in my community. If you, or any of your blog viewers have any information as to how I would go about doing this, my many thanks to you!
I unfortunately have only completed level 1,2,and 3 ASL. When I moved to Thunder Bay, I was told there were no ASL teachers, and so, as such no courses available in ASL.
Thanks so much,
