This may include one or two hearing interpreters or two CDIs/DIs with the hearing interpreter being the ""feeder"". You will learn how to feed with full interpreting, cue feeding, concept feeding, speed cues, and how to indicate what is next etc. You will also learn if it is appropriate to stand or sit or shadow-interpret.
