As a British Sign Language user, Nick Beese’s template for working with Sign Language/English interpreters is a useful prep sheet, which you can make work for you; remove sections you don’t think you need or add new ones. If you are a teacher or student this could include a glossary of all the terms used on your course. If you work in finance, this could be the names and signs for different teams or the currencies that you work with or whatever works for you.

All this is about taking ownership of the relationship with your interpreter and making the best of the support available and therefore making the best of your career.
