Interpreters are communication professionals who practice in many settings, including within multidisciplinary medical teams. Providers on those teams, however, rarely receive training on how to collaborate with their interpreter colleagues to deliver the best care to their patients, both medically and linguistically. Bilingual speech-language pathologists (SLPs) offer a unique perspective regarding these challenges and can help bridge the gap between content and language-experts. This presentation by two English-Spanish bilingual SLPs will further discuss these issues via a series of initiatives implemented in 2021-2022 to improve the incorporation of interpreters and coordination of care for children with cleft lip and palate within a craniofacial clinic at a large pediatric medical institution. The presenters will discuss relevant literature, general and Spanish-specific terminology considerations for craniofacial anomalies, and use didactic teaching to encourage discussion. In addition, the presenters will highlight completed outcomes related to parent educational handouts, continuing education presentations, and updated clinical protocols that attendees may consider adapting for their own workplaces and respective languages.
