Two participants in my audience were deaf. Two sign language interpreters took turns translating and both did an excellent job being that bridge. They also reminded me as I was moving around the room a bit, not to block their direct view to the participants. I had to really think about looking directly at the participants when they were participating in discussions because, as noted, there is a natural tendency to want to look at the translator. Great blog. Thanks.
