Too often, first- and second-generation children have to play the role of language broker for their families. While there are positive impacts in low-risk situations, sensitive interpretation, such as medical appointments, can place undue stress on youth and their relationships with parents and grandparents. Also, interpreters make good money, so it's unfair to expect young people to perform these services for free, especially if the reason is that service providers cannot secure their own language resources. Service providers must strengthen their language access capabilities, so families never have to rely on their children for free and sometimes stressful labor. https://lnkd.in/eKFG78K9

The interpreting field is fairly novel and I find the general public is unaware about the way interpreter book work. This knowledge can help you successfully seek and secure ASL interpreters to ensure your Deaf family, colleagues, and/or employees have equitable access to everything! Transcript: When people find out I am a 1099 contracted interpreter, the next question I’m asked is, well how do you find work? There’s one main way interpreters find work. They contract with interpreting agencies. These agencies have two types of contracts with private businesses. The first contract is long term contracts. They make a business arrangement with private tech business or in elementary school. The second type of contract is short term. These are usually for events like County Fair concerts, some kind of community event. The agency will email blast every interpreter to fill any request they’ve received. The cool part is we interpreters have no limit to how many agencies we can sign up with. I’m signed up with 7, 8, 9, 11. I don’t know. just so many agencies I can’t even count!

Every field has a tricks and tips to gaining and maintaining clientele. This is equally true for the interpreting field- come learn the “secret sauce” as a 1099 contractor. Transcript: Interpreters are lucky agencies do most of the work for finding interpreting assignments for us. However the interpreting field has a secret sauce to find additional work that’s not fully dependent on these agencies. It’s direct contracts. Direct contracts are when small businesses or organizations hire me directly to provide access for events or whatever they need. The question of the day maybe, how do you find direct contracts? I don’t. They come to me. I’ve worked really hard over the years to develop my reputation in the deaf and interpreting community. When deaf people join events and businesses don’t know how to hire interpreters, Deaf people will recommend my name and they’ll give them my direct contact information. And this is true for interpreters as well. Yes, your professional reputation matters. And the tastier part of this secret sauce is, these small businesses become repeat customers.
