This workshop is for working interpreters with some background knowledge. RID members will receive 1.0 CEUs. PRESENTED IN ASL.

Cost for both days is $25 at the door. No refunds will be given due to payment at the door.

This workshop will focus on the use of SSPs within the realm of professional interactions. such as job interviews, platform speaking, and workplace etiquette. This will allow for the development of higher level skills. including haptics. protactile philosophy, and respect for the autonomy of the DeafBlind individual.

Our 4th Saturday workshops happen on the 4th Saturday of the month!  These free workshops are open to all seeking to improve interpreting skills, for both certified and not-yet certified, that are interactive, informative, and fun! These workshops are not interpreted, as they are designed to improve ASL skills. We invite the Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing community to come and share their experiences and offer feedback to help us improve our skills!

(NEW!)  Through many mentor sessions working with interpreters, I have kept notes to share. It's amazing to see how interpreters creatively face challenges as they translate from English to ASL. I treasure opportunities to help interpreters improve their visual thinking, which Deaf audiences appreciate.   My workshop offers a myriad of ways to make interpreting more visual. We will demonstrate how classifiers may be used most effectively to communicate specific information in medical interpreting situations.
