Types of Interpreters
The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, RID, has Standard Practice Papers (SPPs) which articulate the consensus of the membership in outlining standard practices
and positions on various interpreting roles and issues.
These SPPs are excellent resources to educate all interpreters as well as to pass out to both hearing and deaf clients, the general public, business contacts, school personnel, doctors and nurses, etc. You may print out these SPPs from the RID's Standard Practice Papers.
