Intermediary Interpreting. An intermediary interpreter (deaf interpreter) may be needed when the communication mode of a deaf consumer is so unique that it cannot be adequately accessed by interpreters who are hearing. Oral Interpreting. This service involves interpretation by use of facial expression, lip /mouth movement and hand gestures for deaf and hard of hearing individuals who do not rely on sign language for communication.
