Does CI person need interpreter?

flip said:
CI and mainstreaming was a natural combo for more than one parent a decade ago, and that choice should have increased as CIs is getting better. By reading information from CI companies, the CIs sure have improved a lot, but why aren't your students transfered to mainstream programs, if they did that 10 years ago with much crappier implants? Instead some of them are collected in one place, getting special oral education like the old days of HA. They aren't treated indepedent deaf people functioning in a hearing world to me. That's why I can't help it, but feel that the CIs are getting crappier.

:gpost: If the technology is so much improved, why are we still seeing children that are in need of adjunct suppport services, even in the mainstream?
 
It's depends on CIers.

If CIers don't using oral language so well or just naive or mediocre then interpreter is best result for them.

If CIers who are very skilled with oral language, most experience as hearing people then interpreter isn't nessescary, unless if you feel need it then go for it.

CI is part of deaf community.
