School is Back, Have You Secured Your Translation Services Yet?

SAN DIEGO, August 23, 2024 — It’s been almost three months since we sent out an email and posted an article encouraging schools to get a head start on the new school year by learning about our language services for potential Non-English Speaking and Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing students. How is the new school year here already? Time flies, especially during summer vacation!

As the new school year begins, excitement fills the air. For many students, it’s a time of new friends, learning opportunities, and growth. But for some, like a new student at one of our team member’s San Diego schools, the start of school brings a different set of challenges. This particular student, newly arrived from Europe, speaks no English and currently has no interpreter set up by the school to help navigate daily communication.

Imagine being in their shoes, struggling to understand lessons, unable to communicate with teachers or peers, and feeling isolated and even scared and uncomfortable in a new environment. Without proper language support, students like this can quickly fall behind academically, socially, and emotionally. The importance of providing professional interpretation services cannot be overstated, it’s not just about understanding the words, it’s about ensuring every student feels included, supported, and able to thrive.
