- W236338920 abstract "We welcome the opportunity to respond to Anita Leal-Idrogo's perceptive thoughts regarding the use of translators/interpreters in rehabilitation. Both our article and Leal-Idrogo's critique serve to highlight the language needs of linguistically isolated rehabilitation clients. We agree on the importance of bringing the needs of non-English speaking clients into the forefront and we find ourselves in agreement with many of the specific issues raised in her commentary. We will address, section by section, the issues raised in the order in which she raised them. To begin with, we are sympathetic to Leal-Idrogo's personal account of her experience as a child who spoke primarily Spanish as she encountered the U.S. educational system. In addition, her account of personal experiences as a bilingual rehabilitation professional helped us understand her perspective on the use of translators and interpreters. Indeed, as she implies, we must all begin our journey into multicultural rehabilitation work from the perspective of our own identity and from our own socio-historical background. Likewise, our clients, whatever their racial, ethnic, or linguistic background, bring their own unique perspectives, gifts, talents, biases, and disabilities to the rehabilitation setting. Her personal account underscores the need for sensitivity toward and respect for persons of all racial/ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds. While she correctly points out that Latinos comprise the largest group of non-English speaking people in the U.S., we felt that it was important in our article to address the needs of other racial/ethnic minorities as well. We made an effort to broaden the article beyond a focus on the needs of Latino rehabilitation clients by making specific reference to Asian American and Native American linguistic needs. While she focuses almost exclusively on the needs of Latinos, we see no difference in her position and ours except that ours was broader and more inclusive. Bilingual/Bicultural Leal-Idrogo's comments focus on clarifying use of the term and discuss roles for bilingual/bicultural rehabilitation workers. In response we again point out that the focus of our article was not on the definition or distinction between the concepts of bilingual or bicultural. We have addressed this in greater detail elsewhere (Smart & Smart, 1992a, 1992b). She correctly points out that an individual may be bilingual or bicultural or both, but failed to mention other combinations of monolingualism and monoculturalism with bilingualism and biculturalism. A broader issue which she raises is the need to be sensitive to the most appropriate role that each bilingual and/or bicultural staff member can play within an organization and to use each staff member in the most effective manner. We certainly support the same goal and call for organizational sensitivity to this issue. Cultural Adaptations Our greatest difference with Leal-Idrogo is that while she considers the use of family and friends as interpreters to be a beneficial cultural adaptation, we sound strong cautions regarding this practice. While it is possible for family and friends to serve as linguistic facilitators and be supportive allies to those who do not speak the dominant language, they can also diminish effective communication for the various reasons which we listed in our article. The adaptation of using friends and family members as interpreters is probably widespread and may be the only alternative available to many rehabilitation clients who seek services at rehabilitation agencies where interpreters are not available. Nevertheless, we believe it is particularly important that extreme caution be exercised when children are put in the role of interpreter. We believe that our position is further bolstered by reference to the Guidelines for Providers of Psychological Services to Ethnic, Linguistic, and Culturally Diverse Populations (American Psychological Associations, 1990). …" @default.
