[QUOTE="buddy, post: 497206, member: 12886"] You know, I remember we had an over 18 student who did not understand when people would say things like, I can connect you with x y z service do you want that? and he would sign off NO and then would be SOL for getting services... he did not have the language ability to fully understand (he is deaf/ASL user and also has cognitive and mental health issues) so by not having representation there, and needing TWO interpreters...one typical and one deaf, native asl user who knows him and can re-interpret what the first interpreter said at his level.... they were found to have not followed ADA. so it was written as an ada accommodation anywhere he went...that to maintain his rights, he always needed to have a native asl user who knows him to help represent him. I dont know how far something like that goes. I wonder if you call the disability law advocates around you if you can get a hint of how to protect him from something like that.... It is clear he is at a disadvantage legally during that type of an interview and it is not like it was for therapeutic purposes, so seeing him alone was not right...but I dont know if that means it is not legal.
