I possibly help provide communications between the person they're guiding and the hotel restaurants staff. Basically anything that the professional interpreters do not do since they only deal with official meetings seminars agenda items. If anyone has a question about the exact duties again please do not hesitate to reach out and ask me what those duties are? Thanks to your volunteering to help out a deaf blind convention attendee Will make convention enjoyable for all of us.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>PS it would be helpful if you know how to use a refreshable Braille display or A notetaker. This is just in case we do get someone we need to match you with who may only know braille and or only use sign.
