Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best form of communication with a client with LEP is to utilize a certified interpreter. This will ensure accurate communication and avoid misunderstandings or language barriers. Video interpreting or a webcam can be used if a certified interpreter is not available in person. Finger spelling may not be effective as not all clients may know American Sign Language.
