Episode 3- Interpreter Identity

Dr. Steven Collins, Ph.D., CDI shares about the work of an interpreter and the work of deaf interpreters. Throughout the show he references Tactile Sign Language, if you would like to see an example, this is one I saw previously through YouTube (https://youtu.be/l11lahuiHLA) As the producers mention, you can see a transcript of the vlog on their website. If you are looking for a sign language interpreter, or are trying to make sure deaf and hearing individuals can communicate at your event, visit www.rid.org to find resources and interpreters in your area. Dr. Collins works at Gallaudet which is a great resource – and has many events you can attend if you are in DC. www.gallaudet.edu If you are not in DC, look for associations of the deaf or residential schools in your area for resources of where programs exist to support your deaf awareness growth. And, last but not least, the National Association of the Deaf is another great resource. www.NAD.org
