The moments when an office professional is contacting an interpreter with a Spanish-speaking family in front of them can be anxiety-ridden for both parties. The family doesn't know what is happening: is this person ignoring me while they make a call? will I have access to an interpreter? The office professional doesn't know how to communicate and put the family at ease. This visual can help ease the stress of those moments.
