This research uses mixed methods as the research approaches, in which the qualitative method is the primary method and the quantitative method is the secondary one. The data were all the sentences or clauses showing that the interpreter uses techniques of adjustment. The data are collected from Barbara O?Neill?s seminar entitled Rewiring the Brain as the source text and its Bahasa Indonesia interpreting, by Reuben Supit, as the target text. The result of this research shows there are seven techniques of adjustment consisting of three separated techniques and four combined techniques, they are: 1) additions, 2) subtractions, 3) alterations, 4) additions + subtractions, 5) additions + alterations, 6) subtractions + alterations, and 7) additions + subtractions + alterations. In terms of the meaning accuracy, 87 data (or 48.33\%) are considered accurate, 92 data (or 51.11\%) are considered less accurate, and 1 datum (or 0.56\%) is considered inaccurate. From these percentages, the interpreting using the techniques of adjustment in the seminar is generally considered less accurate. Then, in terms of the expression acceptability, 96 data (or 53.33\%) are considered acceptable, 81 data (or 45\%) are considered less acceptable, and 3 data (or 1.67\%) are considered unacceptable. From these percentages, the interpreting using the techniques of adjustment in the seminar is generally considered acceptable.} }
