Educational Sign Language Interpreter - Katy, Texas

Make a meaningful impact supporting a 9th-grade student in a behavioral classroom as a Sign Language Interpreter and Language Facilitator. This part-time contract opportunity focuses on facilitating communication and instructional participation for a student who utilizes cochlear implants, hearing aids, and an ALD device. The student primarily identifies as hearing but requires interpretation services due to unintelligible speech. After attending a Residential Day School Program, he is transitioning back to a traditional school setting—your expertise will be crucial during this adjustment period.

Working every Friday onsite, you'll collaborate with another experienced language facilitator covering Monday through Thursday, and occasionally be asked to sub if needed. Your focused support will help the student access his curriculum effectively, fostering inclusion and engagement.
