ASL Risk Management & Mitigation 3

Question 1

An ASL program coordinator identifies that a newly hired instructor lacks adequate training in Deaf culture. What is the most proactive risk mitigation response?

Accepted Answer

Mandate structured professional development in Deaf culture before the instructor leads classes

Answer

Requiring structured professional development before classroom instruction prevents cultural misrepresentation and student harm.

Question 2

Which scenario represents a vicarious liability risk for an ASL program?

Accepted Answer

An instructor misrepresents Deaf community norms in ways that harm a student's professional relationships

Answer

When an instructor's conduct within the scope of employment causes harm, the employing institution may share liability through vicarious liability doctrine.

Question 3

What is the most effective risk control for preventing the spread of infectious disease in a tactile ASL learning environment?

Accepted Answer

Establishing clear hygiene protocols and providing hand sanitizer, with opt-out options for tactile activities

Answer

Hygiene protocols with opt-out provisions balance safety with accessibility, especially for DeafBlind learners who rely on tactile contact.

Question 4

A Certified ASL Instructor shares a student's video performance submission on social media without permission. Which risk is MOST directly created?

Sharing student work without consent violates FERPA, which protects the privacy of student educational records at institutions receiving federal funding.

Question 5

Which approach best mitigates the risk of skill regression among students who miss multiple ASL classes?

Accepted Answer

Develop a makeup policy with structured independent practice tasks tied to learning objectives
