Why This Matters
Educational interpreters often develop positive relationships with the students they serve. While those relationships are important, professional boundaries must remain clear both inside and outside of school. This course explores how social media, texting, gaming, community interactions, and after-hours communication can create significant ethical, professional, and legal risks when boundaries become blurred.
