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.

Pepnet 2 has been my "Go To" resource for many years while coordinating services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. This can feel very isolating and our responsibilities are so unique, but with pepnet 2, I never feel like I'm alone. I'm very thankful for the funding that supports pepnet 2, which supports the rest of us.
