Hello Everyone!
Kimberly, in Tennessee, is in need of an interpreter for her deaf
daughter...Can anyone help?.....

>Second, My daughter is deaf, but her hearing aids and lip-reading skill
>allow her to understand about 70% of speech, and she mainstreamed with an
>educational interpreter in a regular classroom. Her educational interpreter
>has taken a position serving two deaf children in another school district
>about 50 miles from our house and jobs. The local district has advertised
>for an interpreter with no response. So, we have decided to move to another
>nearby district. Rock Creek Elementary School, in Franklin County, has a
>Deaf education teacher in place for another student. While no interpreter is
>on staff now, this educator may provide advice for Mary Beth's classroom
>teacher until an interpreter is hired.

>In the meantime, I have placed the following message on every bulletin board
>and sent it to every e-mail address I have for every person involved in any
>way in the deaf community. Please help us if you can by forwarding the
>message anywhere it may reach a potential candidate.
