About
Interpreting services served 746 individuals, not including students and audiences. Almost 26,000 hours of interpreting services were provided by two staff interpreters and more than thirty contract interpreters, including 706 hours by deaf interpreters. Certified deaf interpreters (CDIs) are highly-qualified interpreters who team with hearing interpreters to meet the specific needs of clients where there is an additional language barrier. Interpreting services also provided 3,761 video remote interpreting (VRI) minutes. VRI allows us to provide services quickly and cost-effectively to remote areas but never replaces the value and quality of having an interpreter in person. Interpreting services continues to work with courts and law enforcement to ensure best practices and legal compliance when working with the deaf and hard of hearing community. They also worked to establish best practices in mental health settings, training the staffs of four providers.
