At my middle school, sometimes I ask a DHH student to stay after class for a minute or two, but the interpreter is unable to stay longer than a few seconds because s/he has to dash to the next class. How can I speak privately with a DHH student when the interpreter always has to leave?
This happens often. Sometimes, daily! Arrange for an interpreter to be available before or after school. You might also problem-solve with the interpreter in question, or ask for ideas from your schools interpreter liaison (if your school has one), other teachers, deaf education specialist, ESE coordinator, or other support personnel.
