Interpreting

KTRID will be hosting a student-only night at the meeting on 2/3 at 7pm at KCD. Please come meet some interpreters from the area and bring all of your questions, no matter how embarrassing they are! Smile. We hope to see you all there.

This four-day intensive course will offer application of anatomy and physiology in American Sign Language, with an emphasis on classifiers, specialized terminology used in medical settings, and ethical decision making strategies especially for medical settings.

To optimize learning, the program is offered at a hospital. Participants will analyze and practice interpreting discourse in both classroom and clinical settings. Class time will be interactive and hands-on, with lots of time for practice and feedback in a safe, supportive environment.

Mental health interpreting has developed a “toolbox” of specialized techniques for working with the complex material inherent to that setting. These techniques can aid interpreters working in many other settings. This workshop will discuss the techniques and provide examples of how they can be used in educational, legal and general medical interpreting. 

It’s time to get together and get to know your community! Come and join us for a night full of free tacos, tea and laughs. This is a great opportunity for the vets to introduce themselves to our new members and share stories. If you are new to the area or to the profession, this is a great time to show your face and find the support that TRID is so great at providing.

Hope to see you all there!
