Calls in an evaluation
Phone interpreters for evaluation calls about the child's history, consent and scheduling
Phone suits the parts of an evaluation that need no papers on screen and no child in the room. Schools book the calls below.
Parent history interviews
The evaluator can take the child's history over the phone from a parent who cannot come to the school. The interpreter interprets each question and answer in full, so the evaluator hears the parent's own words.
Consent and scheduling calls
Staff call a parent to explain the evaluation and what the parent will be asked to sign, and to agree on dates for the testing sessions. Such calls are short, and they are booked apart from the interview.
Questions after the results
After the results meeting, a parent may call the evaluator with questions about the report. The interpreter interprets the questions and the evaluator's answers, and a note in the booking tells the interpreter which report the parent means.
Evaluation calls
What to know about evaluation calls with a phone interpreter
When phone is used
The history interview and the scheduling calls are only conversation, so they can be held by phone when the parent has no video connection or the evaluator is in another place. Testing the child, and a results meeting with the report on screen, usually work better in a room or on video. The evaluator decides how each part of the evaluation is held.
Who is on the line
The evaluator, often the school psychologist, leads the call and asks the questions about the child's history. The parent answers from home or work, and hears each question in the parent's own language. The speech-language pathologist can join the call for questions about speech, and the interpreter dials in on the same line.

The interpreter's role
The interpreter lets one person speak at a time, because a call has no faces or gestures to follow. The evaluator asks in a few sentences and pauses, and the interpreter gives the question to the parent in the parent's language. The parent's answer comes back in the first person and in full, including answers the parent is unsure of. The interpreter keeps the call private and does not suggest answers.

Interview and scheduling calls
A history interview spans many years and topics, so book it as its own block of time. A scheduling call is short and is booked separately, with the open dates in the notes. Send the history form in the booking notes as well, so the interpreter has the questions in front of them.
On-site, video or phone
Choosing between phone, video and on-site for a special education evaluation
Phone works for the talking parts of an evaluation. Testing and report review call for a different setting.
On-site
Book an interpreter at the school for testing sessions, observations and any part where the child is with the evaluator.
On-Site Interpretation for Special Education Evaluations
Video (VRI)
Video suits a results meeting, when the report is shared on screen.
Video-Remote Interpretation for Special Education EvaluationsPhone (OPI)
Phone fits a history interview or a scheduling call with a parent who has no video.

Questions about phone interpreters for special education evaluations
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Can the speech-language pathologist be added after the call starts?
Yes. Once everyone is on the line, the interpreter can add another person to the call.
02Can the child speak on the call?
The evaluator decides whether the child joins the call. If the child does, the interpreter interprets the child's words in the first person and adds no hints.
03Can the parent call from a mobile phone?
Yes. Any phone works, a mobile or a landline, and nobody needs an app or a link.
04How is an evaluation call priced?
Phone calls are priced by the time you booked, with the total shown before you pay. A history interview is long, so book it generously, because unused time is not refunded.
05Is the call recorded?
No, unless you ask us to record it. The interpreter works under an NDA, and the connection is encrypted.
06Which languages can you interpret by phone for evaluations?
70 languages. Spanish, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese and Tagalog are the easiest to schedule. Pashto and other rare languages need more notice.
07Are your Polish interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Polish interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
