Great student support starts with a strong team—but a strong team also needs clearly defined roles.

When the roles of an interpreter, tutor, and teacher become blurred, it can create confusion and ultimately impact a Deaf or hard-of-hearing student’s learning and development.

In Part 3 of “Educating Deaf Students: 3 Things to Know,” Katie Johnson, LAF SLS Lead Interpreter, explains why understanding these roles matters and how educational teams can work together more effectively to support student success.

Here are a few ways schools can help:
