This tipsheet is one in a series of publications that addresses services provided to students who are deaf or hard of hearing. It discusses communication access for a person who is deaf or hard of hearing and who uses speechreading as a means of communication. Transliterators are used in a variety of situations: educational settings; religious services; job interviews; medical and legal settings; areas of employment; conferences; workshops; town meetings; etc. They are especially helpful when there are multiple speakers or the speech reader cannot see the speaker clearly (as in a large auditorium); or when the speaker is not speech readable. Published in Spanish. (Published: 2010)

Pepnet 2 provided me with prompt, very helpful advising when I contacted them about an interpreter question. Their response was very thorough and informative. I recommend them to any higher education institution that needs information about best practices.
