[Athen] Athen Digest, Vol 28, Issue 1

[Jean Salzer]

I know of no such software. Perhaps the United Nations has something?? 
There is a lot of interpreting that goes on there.

Legally, there is nothing the institution is required to do. There must 
be someone else in  the Boston area who could interpret for this person. 
I mean, the instructor could provide a recording of his lecture, the 
student could meet with an interpreter, etc.

My 2 cents.
