"LAF SLS is Seamless, Professional, and Personable"

I'm Sonya Mizell, I'm the Special Ed Director here in our small county.

Hello, my name is Ashley Moore. I am Special Ed Teacher at the middle

school.

[Mizelle] I would say that our greatest challenge was that we went for almost two years advertising an interpreter position with zero applicants.

So finding someone in our rural area was our greatest challenge.

[Moore] My biggest concern with having a virtual interpreter was the

technology difficulties that came in my head like, "What could possibly happen?". Some of the teachers just thought it was just, you know, it was going to be so inconvenient.

[Mizelle] LAF made it easier for me in the respect that I didn't have to panic anytime the interpreter was going to be absent because they automatically put someone as substitute in his spot. I never had to be concerned about that in the least.

[Moore] We thought it was going to be just crazy and we were going to be running everywhere trying to get this stuff set up every single day, but it was a blessing. It was.

Just to see him go from no confidence to very confident. He's wanting to, you know, interact with the kids. He's constantly raising his hand. He's participating because it really enabled him to access the curriculum the way that he needed to be able to access it. So it was a blessing.

[Mizelle] I would definitely, definitely recommend this to someone else, especially those of us who are in rural areas who don't have access to interpreters. It was truly a blessing at a time that I was very, very concerned about what we were going to do.

It was seamless, very professional

and personable at the same time.
