Case Study
Emmanuelle – Private Client
About the project
Emmanuelle contacted me as her son was not receiving the support he needed at school following the family’s recent move from France to the UK.
Her son is extremely bright and requires a high degree of intellectual stimulation, as confirmed by a report prepared by a French clinical psychologist.
Emmanuelle needed the report translated from French into English so that she could present this to the school as evidence of his particular needs.
The translation itself posed a number of challenges as it required research into the Wechsler intelligence scale.
In the end, I produced a translation that accurately reflected the precise findings and recommendations made by the clinical psychologist in France.
Outcome
Emmanuelle was able to submit the translation to her son’s school and he is now being challenged with more personalised and intellectually-stimulating activities in the classroom.
Here’s what the client said:
“I’m so pleased with the help I received from Andrew with the documents I needed translating for my son. We are one step closer to getting him the support he needs at school. Thank you so much!”
Emmanuelle – Private Client
Here’s my perspective:
“This translation was a challenge in the sense that some of the documents strayed outside of the legal, business and commercial sphere in which I normally operate. As a parent myself, I understood the importance to Emmanuelle of having the psychological examination report in English so that her son could thrive at school.”
