Can an ASL request go on a phone call?
No. IMP keeps ASL, CDI, CART, and TypeWell on video or onsite. The call window only offers them on video.
Does IMP support Deaf interpreters?
Yes. CDI is on the credential list, and a team job can pair a Deaf interpreter with a hearing ASL interpreter.
When should a job be teamed?
RID ties it to the length and complexity of the assignment, the needs of the people served, the dynamics of the setting, and avoiding repetitive stress injuries. Some contracts set a threshold, often two hours. Your agency decides.
Is VRI acceptable for medical appointments?
The NAD and Deaf Seniors of America standards treat VRI as a fallback when a qualified onsite interpreter isn't available, and the ADA rules set quality requirements for the video.
Which ASL credentials can we track?
NIC, CDI, CI, CT, CSC, SC:L, BEI I to V, and more.
What if our ASL interpreters are busy for a live call?
Overflow coverage can offer a live ASL video call to the IMP Interpreter Network after your delay.
