Today was my second day training him. We had tons of fun learning/teaching all day at work. He took calls all my himself and although he is getting better; he still makes some mistakes.
My favorite mistake of the day:
Seth is talking on the phone and the person on the phone asked the deaf person what their birthday was. They say, "1/1/91" (different birthday is used) So Seth goes to relay and says, "One slash, one slash, ninety one." The first time this happened I just giggled to myself thinking that he was just really into the call and didn't notice it was a birthday. Until the second time when it happened again! I laughed again and told him he doesn't have to say "slash."
After I tell him that little tip he says "Oh but Morg, I don't the months very well! In kindergarten I missed the day they went over months!"
At this point I am in shock. He doesn't know his months. Then he makes it worse. He says, "Well I know that December is 11."
Now I have to take it upon myself to help this boy. We had been doing all sorts of quizzes throughout the day for work questions, and now I have to teach him the months of the year.
