Interpreting during Pediatric Development Assessments

Imagine walking into an encounter that will involve a child with behavioral issues, five clinicians from different specialties, and parents who may not want the behavioral assessment to take place. What is your role as the interpreter? Do you ignore behavior by the child? Do you coax him to participate in the assessment? Do you ask the mother what words she uses for biscuits and milk in their home, so that you can figure out what the child is saying? This workshop was specifically designed for interpreters to guide them in how to partner with each clinician to help the care team achieve its encounter goals. Video of live encounters is included. Class materials include an extensive supplemental handbook on childhood development topics, especially prepared for interpreters.
