FAQs

Educational Interpreting Questions

Do your interpreters follow FERPA confidentiality rules for student records?

Yes. Our education interpreters are trained in FERPA confidentiality and handle student records, assessment results, and family information with strict discretion. They follow district protocol during IEP meetings, disciplinary hearings, and conferences so sensitive information stays protected throughout the assignment.

Do you provide on-site, video, or phone interpreters for school meetings?

We offer all three. Districts can request on-site interpreters for IEP meetings and back-to-school events, scheduled video sessions for remote conferences, and over-the-phone support for shorter conversations. We match the delivery format to the setting, language, and number of families involved.

How far in advance should a district schedule an education interpreter?

We recommend submitting requests as soon as a meeting is set, since some languages and ASL require advance coordination. For many assignments we confirm availability within 24 to 48 hours, and we can often support same-week IEP meetings and conferences. Share the date, language, and meeting type so we can lock in the right interpreter.

Do you cover IEP and special education meetings?

Yes. We provide interpreters for IEP meetings, special education evaluations, and 504 plan reviews. Our interpreters are trained to convey assessment results, eligibility decisions, and accommodations accurately so families can participate fully in IDEA-driven processes.

Can you help us meet Title VI and IDEA requirements?

Yes. We help districts meet Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and IDEA requirements by providing qualified interpreters for communication with limited English proficient (LEP) families across enrollment, conferences, and special education proceedings.

Do you provide ASL interpreters for schools?

Yes. We provide ASL and sign language interpreters for classrooms, assemblies, meetings, and events to support deaf and hard-of-hearing students, parents, and staff under ADA and Section 504.

Can you interpret for parent-teacher conferences?

Yes. We staff interpreters for parent-teacher conferences covering report cards, behavior, academic progress, and enrollment questions, so teachers and families can have meaningful conversations across language barriers.
