What does a school sign language interpreter do?

A School Sign Language Interpreter facilitates communication between deaf or hard-of-hearing students and others in the school environment by converting spoken language into sign language and vice versa. They work in classrooms and other school settings to ensure students can fully participate in lessons, discussions, and activities. Interpreters may also assist during meetings, extracurricular events, and interactions with teachers or peers. Their role helps create an inclusive educational experience and supports the academic and social development of students who use sign language.
