This introductory workshop, intended for individuals new to the concept and process of working with a Deaf interpreter, gives a broad overview of the function, benefit, and procedure of Deaf interpreting in educational settings. 

This webinar introduces the critical role Deaf interpreters (DIs) play in postsecondary educational environments, focusing on their collaboration with Hearing Interpreters (HIs) to ensure equitable access for Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students. Participants will start the exploration of the flow of information between Deaf and hearing consumers, strategies for effective team positioning, and the diverse tools DIs employ, such as role play, drawing, gesturing, and modeling to convey meaning and facilitate comprehension. Participants will begin to assess how DIs serve as cultural mediators and communication specialists who foster inclusive, language-rich learning environments. The session also highlights how DI–HI teams adapt to the unique linguistic, academic, and cultural needs of postsecondary students, promoting autonomy, engagement, and academic success.

This is an introductory course. Future webinars on this topic will be coming soon!
