WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:<\/p>\n

This workshop is geared to people who are either deaf or hard of hearing. In this workshop provided by the Deaf\/Hard of Hearing Services (DHHS) at Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS), you will get a taste of the Deaf Interpreter Training Curriculum used to teach people who are deaf to work as interpreters in our community. The overview of this curriculum will focus on five modules:<\/p>\n

– The fundamentals of deaf interpreter practice<\/p>\n

– Consumer assessment \u2013 identifying culture, language, and communication style<\/p>\n

– Ethnic and culture diversity within the deaf and deaf-blind communities<\/p>\n

– Ethical considerations and challenges for deaf interpreters<\/p>\n

– Interpreting theory and practice; and<\/p>\n

– Deaf and hearing interpreter teams.<\/p>\n

INTENDED AUDIENCE:<\/p>\n

This workshop is designed for two audiences:<\/p>\n

– Deaf and hard of hearing individuals who have already gone through an interpreter training program (ITP), or who are already certified but who need to expand their job options.<\/p>\n

– Deaf and hard of hearing individuals who are interested in becoming a Deaf Interpreter at the end of the workshop. You can sign up at the workshop site for the application and screening processes.<\/p>\n
