What are the qualifications of the interpreters at JSU?
ANSWER In terms of sign language proficiency, we have one interpreter who is nationally certified through both RID and NAD (the Lead Interpreter), and we have two interpreters who are certified through NAD and are candidates for certification through RID. Most of our interpreters have SCPI levels of at least Intermediate. Educationally, most of the current interpreters have a Bachelor’s degree. Several have a Master’s degree or are working toward one. Several are working toward a Bachelor’s in Deaf Education. (Don’t forget to check out the Interpreters’ page at this web site.
