  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!)
While interning, I worked with a DHH student and his ASL interpreter. I always gave the materials, handouts, paperwork, etc. for all activities and lessons and anything I planned out ahead of time. I always gave and passed out the materials to the student directly. I never had the issue of the ASL interpreter not wanting to help out. I will say this, there is a lot that goes into that job title. Perhaps, talk with them directly about the issue and see if they can help out and pass the papers to them personally. You can avoid this as well by creating a folder or binder for the ASL Interpreter with everything that is needed for each period of each day this way they are there and they can give them directly to the student, it is less for you to do at the moment, it just requires some planning ahead of time.

Comments: This is great that you helped out but it is not the responsibility of the interpreter to help out as their job is to their deaf and hard of hearing students only.
