  * Little or no training for deaf or hearing consumers

  * Lack of recognition or respect, esp those that administer programs for deaf people

  * Need for agreeing on technical or "new" signs

  * Importance of conveying voice tone and nuances to provide clues about speaker's attitude or intention, particularly on telephone calls.

  * Need for interpreters to be flexible in meeting the needs of the deaf consumer on the job

  * Need for skilled interpreters in sign to voice

  * Need to look at the interpreter's decision making process

  * Issues related to trust and responsibility both for the interpreter and the consumer

  * Need for interpreters to recognize and acknowledge their limitations and deal with them openly and honestly

  * Need for interpreters and deaf consumers to discuss feedback

  * Deaf consumer's need to have continuity of services (interpreter should be willing to interpret through breaks so the consumer can interact with other participants)

  * Need for flexibility in applying the code of ethics, especially for those in full-time positions.
