Abstract
-
The purpose of this study was to identify the contributing factors of employee turnover among a specialized group within the field of education: sign language interpreters. More aptly named educational interpreters, these professionals work to provide sign language interpretation services to D/deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students within a mainstream K–12 setting. In this study, why interpreters previously employed as educational interpreters or sign language facilitators within the Dallas-Fort Worth geographical area left their jobs was explored. The study sought connections between potential burnout and educational interpreter turnover, as well as specific factors related to their separation from school districts.
