• Demonstrate knowledge and applicability of
the Demand Control Schema to interpreting
scenarios requiring deaf-blind interpreting
strategies.
• Analyze potential demands placed on the
interpreter when working with consumers
with atypical vision.
• Identify controls to assist in any scenario that
is deemed as “deaf-blind interpreting.”

It is important to understand that the
combination of hearing loss and vision
loss isn’t addition, it’s multiplication:

•A theoretical framework
that allows us to assess
and mitigate the stressors
that are inherent in the
work of sign language
interpreting.

•Demands – Part of the job
regardless of who
the interpreter is.
– What is needed:
knowledge,
capability,
characteristics,
traits, working
conditions
•Controls – Interpersonal and
varying.
– Resources and
options (rather than
controlling� the
situation).
– There isn’t a one-to-
one match of
demands and
controls

roles and specialized terminology
specific to a given setting or tolerance
of space limitations, odors, extreme

pigmentation (not red/pink), light
colors for dark pigmentation (not
white), No open collars or v-neck
shirts, No patterns

3. LIGHTING
• Additional illumination may be needed in order to
enhance visual access to sign language production
POSSIBLE CONTROLS:
–Request that the space be more
illuminated
–Request additional lighting
Lamps that can be angled are often
best
–Move to a different location in the
environment that is better illuminated
![Page 28: DEAF-BLIND INTERPRETING THROUGH THE LENS … INTERPRETING THROUGH THE LENS OF THE DEMAND ... (people, furniture, equipment) ... •Sit at an angle to each other](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062908/5ae654bb7f8b9a08778ceac0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Beware of natural lighting – glare and
shadows!
The interpreter needs to be aware of seating & positioning. Never sit in front of windows or bright light.
3. LIGHTING
![Page 29: DEAF-BLIND INTERPRETING THROUGH THE LENS … INTERPRETING THROUGH THE LENS OF THE DEMAND ... (people, furniture, equipment) ... •Sit at an angle to each other](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062908/5ae654bb7f8b9a08778ceac0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Contrasting backdrop
Lighting from the front
Lighting should always come from the
front of the interpreter,
over the shoulder of the
consumer.
3. LIGHTING The
interpreter should select a position that allows for a
more contrasting
background.

• Distance between communication
partners may be closer (low vision) or
further away (reduced peripheral fields)
• Distance between the Deaf-Blind person
and communication partners within the
environment may not be accessible
• Materials and things are at a distance
may not be accessible
4. DISTANCE
![Page 31: DEAF-BLIND INTERPRETING THROUGH THE LENS … INTERPRETING THROUGH THE LENS OF THE DEMAND ... (people, furniture, equipment) ... •Sit at an angle to each other](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062908/5ae654bb7f8b9a08778ceac0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
POSSIBLE CONTROLS:
– Pre-conference with the Deaf-Blind person
to determine a comfortable seating distance.
– Pre-conference with the Deaf-Blind person
to discuss what information within the
environment is of interest
– Determine a strategy with your partner and
the Deaf-Blind person as to when this
information will be incorporated into the
interpreting process.

“Interpersonal demands are interpreting
challenges or success requirements that
pertain to the interaction of the

the unique perceptions, preconceptions,

• What are the power dynamics at play?
• Are there oppressive or unfair events present?
• Who is controlling the communication?
• How is turn taking happening?

•The construct – negative and neurotic (Burns, 1980).
– balanced view of perfectionism with positive or normal perfectionism distinguished from a negative or neurotic perfectionism (Hamachek, 1978).
•Contemporary definition – Perfectionism is a multidimensional construct, with both
maladaptive and adaptive potential (Slaney, Rice, Mobley, Trippi, & Ashby, 2001).

Maladaptive potential •Concerns about performance, including skill competency, are identified as significant contributors to an interpreter’s experience of stress and burnout (Dean & Pollard, 2001; Roziner & Shlesinger, 2010)
Adaptive potential •Conscientiousness includes striving for achievement, efficiency, hard-work, and perfectionist traits and is a significant predictor of occupational performance (Bontempo & Napier, 2011)

You’ve been asked to interpret a counseling session with a deaf client/ patient and a hearing therapist. The deaf person has recently overdosed on drugs and was taken to the hospital for treatment. The therapist has never met with a deaf patient before, but there is a pre-session planned prior to the session.
- What will be important discussion points?
- What would be different about this scenario if it were in an emergency psychiatric evaluation?
