DBI Moving Forward: From Research to Practice

Do you want to learn more about DBI and our upcoming training opportunities? Now’s your chance!

Join our co-directors CM Hall and Heather Holmes for DBI’s first webinar!
This webinar is an introduction and opportunity to learn about the work and progress that the DeafBlind Interpreting National Training & Resource Center has made since beginning research into effective practice in DeafBlind interpreter education. Through in-depth surveys, focus groups and interviews, DBI has identified key findings as well as core competencies and domains that any interpreter working with DeafBlind individuals should be aware of. This hour-long webinar will introduce you to the co-directors and core team members on the grant as well as introduce the emerging research into protactile ASL as linguistically distinct from Visual ASL. A pre- and post-assessment and evaluation will be required of those seeking CEUs.
 
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants should be able to identify the domains and competencies related to DeafBlind interpreting work and determine how it is different from visual ASL interpreting.

This webinar is open to all and is available for CEUs. Being awarded CEUs is contingent on completion of a pre- and post-assessment.
 
Registration is FREE and includes access to all future public training content on the DBI Moodle site.
