ASL Communication

CDIs are not a supplement to a hearing interpreter team. They are part of it. Hearing interpreters have a role in advocating for CDI inclusion — in scheduling, in agency conversations, and in how teams are built from the start. That work doesn’t fall on CDIs alone.

Feed preferences matter, and assuming you know what your CDI partner needs is where a lot of teams go wrong. Ask, communicate, and check in before the assignment. The best CDI/HI teams are built on real coordination, not assumptions made in the hallway five minutes before you walk in.

Don’t miss it - our CDI Panel Workshop is tomorrow night! A few spots are still available. Grab yours before they’re gone.
