In the Print-on-Palm method, what do interpreters draw?

In the Print-on-Palm method, interpreters draw block letters in the consumer's palm to convey written information. This technique is particularly useful for communicating specific terms, names, or concepts that may not have a readily available sign in American Sign Language (ASL) or when clarity is crucial. By using block letters, interpreters can ensure that the information is clearly communicated and understood, especially when working with individuals who may have varying levels of literacy or familiarity with the language being interpreted.

The method provides a tactile and visual way to enhance understanding, as the consumer can feel the letters being formed in their palm, which can reinforce learning and recall. This method is not about expressing emotions, indicating direction, or illustrating concepts, since those tasks would require different techniques or approaches in interpreting. Instead, the focus is on the clarity and accuracy of specific printed information.
