NPR\u2019S TALK OF THE NATION FEATURES SEGMENT ON SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETATION USING CAPTIONING FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not long after Superstorm Sandy hit New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg addressed the public with an update of the extensive damage, and information about how to stay safe. Lydia Callis was by his side interpreting for ASL users. Her gestures and facial expressions drew wide attention and even a spoof on Saturday Night Live.<\/p>\n

This Thursday, November 15 at 2:40 pm ET, join Talk of the Nation as we interview interpreter Anna Witter-Merthiew for a conversation of why the whole body is important when interpreting from spoken English into American Sign Language.<\/p>\n

NPR will provide live captioning for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and we hope to take calls via TTY or Video Relay from Deaf Community members to answer this question: \u201cWhat do you look for in a sign language interpreter?\u201d
\nTo access the captioning, go to this website: http:\/\/captions.npr.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese captions are provided by the Integrated Captioning and Transcription Services (ICATS) Center, which is apartnership between Towson University and NPR Labs. ICATS hopes to announce the commencement of ongoing radio captions in early2013.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anna Witter-Merthiew is the Assistant Director for the Distance Opportunities for Interpreter Training (DO IT) Center, which offers a BA degree in ASL-English Interpretation and the Director of the Mid America Regional Interpreter Education Center (MARIE) at the University of Northern Colorado. MARIE is a member of the National Consortium of Interpreter Education Centers (NCIEC).<\/p>\n
