Statewide

I am reaching out to invite you to the first meeting of the Tennessee Council for the Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing. The meeting will be held on Friday, Feb. 7 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at Bridges, 935 Edgehill Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203. Sign language interpreters and CART will be provided for both those on the council and those visitors in attendance. If there should be any questions about the meeting, please contact Thom Roberts, Interim Executive Director of the Tennessee Council for the Deaf Deaf-Blind and Hard of Hearing.

With the growing number of ITPs across the nation, interpreters are increasingly finding themselves in a mentorship role. Without formal training, how can one effectively fulfill the expectations of that role? This workshop is intended as a “how-to guide” that provides new mentors with a strong foundation to get started off on the right track and existing mentors a different take on their role.

Disability Day on the Hill is your opportunity to meet with state legislators at the Capitol and talk about issues important to you and your family. Do You Know Your Policymakers? Do They Know You?  We encourage you to call and set up  in-person meetings with your legislators!  Find them at: www.capitol.tn.gov.

Dozens of disability organizations from across the state will be participating and with your help we can ensure that every legislator gets to hear from a constituent with a disability, a family member, or friend.

Semantics is defined as the study of meanings expressed by the elements of a language or a combination of the elements. A concept expressed in an ASL sign often cannot be conveyed by a single all-purpose English word. Likewise, English words and phrases may have variations in meaning, which require translations using different ASL signs. This workshop helps the student advance skills in translating the languages of ASL and English. (Demonstration of Semantics: RUN) (0.4 RID CEUs)
