The Center for Atypical Language Interpreting (CALI) at Northeastern University is addressing the growing demand for interpreters with specialized skills to serve Deaf and DeafBlind persons with atypical language. This interactive workshop will begin with a description of this specialty area and it will cover the developmental work conducted to provide foundation for creation of the Program of Study and other resources. The focus will be on describing and demonstrating the many resources available to interpreting educators and practitioners including Unfolding Scenarios (a conceptual tool that enables interpreter practitioners to make decisions based on conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of available knowledge), Self-Paced Online Learning Modules, an Annotated Bibliography, a Community of Practice, and more.
Please join us to learn how you can benefit from these newly developed resources.
