  Case: ASL interpreter
While in the classroom there is an American Sign Language interpreter. The ASL interpreter refuses to help pass out paper as it is not his job. This includes passing it out to his deaf student. What would be a good way to communicate why I would like some help?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have worked with ASL interpreters before, and honestly if they do not want to help them don't make them, it's almost like making a student do something they do not want to do which isn't going to help anyone in the end. If it is a busy day, then I think it is totally acceptable to say "hey, do you mind helping me quickly pass out these papers?" and see how they respond. Most likely taking the time to ask in front of students shows the level of help you need and they will be more willing to help. Like I said before, just take what they say and move on. If they do not want to help do not become upset or frustrated especially in front of the students, just simple say okay then move on.
