In an all-day workshop with three DeafBlind attendees and a Deaf presenter, how many hearing interpreters are needed?

Explanation:
Access to information for DeafBlind participants is provided via DeafBlind interpretation rather than hearing interpretation. When the presenter is Deaf, the content is already in sign language, so to make it accessible to DeafBlind attendees you use a DeafBlind (tactile) interpreter to render the signing in a tactile or otherwise accessible form. Hearing interpreters translate spoken language into sign language, which isn’t needed here because there isn’t spoken language being interpreted to sign. So no hearing interpreters are required.
