Once they connect you with the interpreter you can give them a statement summarizing what you'd like to communicate
If this is an in person meeting put them on speaker so they can translate for parent
If this is for a meeting by phone you need to conference call the parent (sometimes the translator will connect the phone call for you but in the case they don't, follow these directions.
While the translator is on the phone push the 3 buttons on your phone, this puts the translator on hold and you will hear a dial tone

Dial the phone number
Once they answer press the 3 phone button again, this will connect the parent to the translator.

If you need to connect two people outside of yourself, you need to use the transfer button, which is the "phone-arrow-phone" button (see photo).
While on a call with caller #1, press the transfer button (caller #1 is placed on hold) dial caller #2 and when they pick up, you can either press the "COMPLETE" button on the phone or hang up, and the caller #1 and caller #2 will be on together, without you.
