I should add that the student's audiogram shows a very slight hearing loss, suspect the student has auditory processing disorder and has been successfully using an FM system.

I agreed with the comment below - the SLPI is an extremely useful tool. It will not, however, provide you a picture of the individuals *interpreting* ability (since it's a language assessment tool). You might want to consider using the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) Pre-Hire Screening tool. More information can be found here. http://www.classroominterpreting.org/eipa/prehire/index.asp
I work in the state of Ohio and we have Guidelines for Educational Interpreters (The label "educational interpreter" - in the state of Ohio- applies to interpreters working in the K-12 setting only, not post-secondary.) In the appendices (page 27 http://www.ohioschoolforthedeaf.org/resources/3/ISLRNewsletter/Guideline...) of this document you will find a section entitled "Indicators of Educational Interpreter Competency." This information may provide helpful in your situation.

Has the student been evaluated by taking the American Sign Language Proficiency Interview (ASLPI)? ASLPI is a good tool to determine the student's ASL proficiency by evaluating an interactive dialogue between the student and the interviewer. ASLPI result might give you an insight if the student will be able to effectively use an interpreter as an accommodation or if you might need to consider a different, reasonable accommodation.

If the ASLPI was determined to be a tool to measure a DHH student's ASL fluency then what level 1,2, 2+, 3, etc. of fluency determines that an interpreter is an appropriate accommodation? There are a wide variety of reasonable accommodations that might be explored as more appropriate such as an assistive listening device.
