Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA)
Established in 1999, the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) Diagnostic Center is the only program of its kind in the world. The program focuses on supporting the unique skills required for sign interpretation in the educational setting.
Skilled Deaf and hearing raters use the EIPA to provide diagnostic services for individual interpreters, states, educational settings and school districts. The EIPA Center’s purpose is to:
- Evaluate the skills and knowledge of interpreters working in K-12 educational settings
- Provide information to local, state and federal agencies regarding interpreting practices
- Provide training to interpreters to assist them in skill and knowledge enhancement
- Provide screenings to assist administrators in making interpreter hiring decisions
