June 7, 2013<\/p>\n

Special to The Sun<\/p>\n

OKLA. CITY \u2014 Interpreters for the deaf are invited to attend a week of training for educational interpreters June 10-14 or a one-day workshop, June 13, focusing on psycho-education testing and disaster preparedness. The afternoon workshop is designed to include first responders and emergency personnel.<\/p>\n

The State Department of Education and the Oklahoma School for the Deaf will collaborate on the training on the OSD campus at 1100 E. Oklahoma Street in Sulphur. Pre-registration is required.<\/p>\n

The week-long Oklahoma Educational Interpreter Training Institute is designed for educational interpreters who have not yet attained their levels of certification required by state legislation for those who interpret for students in public schools.<\/p>\n

Workshop presenter Louise Sattler is a nationally recognized school psychologist with a passion for sign language. Her company Signing Families focuses on educational programs and products to promote sign language learning for people of all ages, including individuals with special needs and first responders in emergency situations. More information about Sattler is available at http:\/\/signingfamilies.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sattler\u2019s first session, \u201cThe 411 for Sign Language Interpreters Regarding Psycho-Educational Testing,\u201d will workshop attendees be more prepared and comfortable during students\u2019 formal and informal psycho-educational assessments. This session is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to noon.<\/p>\n

The second session, \u201cDisaster Preparedness for Special Populations \u2014 What School Based Interpreters, School Personnel and Community Members Need to Know,\u201d from 1-3:30 p.m. This workshop will help prepare participants to help children with disabilities during disasters or medical emergencies. Additional information will focus on interacting with and assisting first responders when they arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe afternoon workshop is very timely because of the tornados we have experienced recently in Oklahoma,\u201d said Traci Prince, Oklahoma School for the Deaf admissions and student assessments director. \u201cMs. Sattler said that afternoon workshop is appropriate for first responders, fire and police as well who may be in contact with students who have disabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cost for interpreters to attend the one-day workshop is $25, which includes training materials, meals and snacks. Police, fire and other first responder personnel may attend the afternoon session at no charge.<\/p>\n

To preregister and get more workshop information, contact Prince at 405-620-0946 or tprince@okdrs.gov.<\/p>\n
