EXERCISE
  1. How else might you react if an interpreter has an emotional response such as laughter or tears in a session?
  2. How do you keep the client at the centre of the interaction when the interpreter is claiming your attention and you do not speak the client’s language?
Here is what one therapist suggests: I use my body language to try to make sure that the client does not feel further alienated and isolated. I might also directly say: “Are you OK?" to the client. Most people can understand the word OK. It is also a way of showing the client that I am checking in with them before I do anything else. I am trying to indicate that their wellbeing is my priority, even if I speak to the interpreter next
This section intersects with the additional Welsh Language Supplement Section 1 available here Section 2, available here.
