DBI Moving Forward: From Research to Practice
February 9 - May 20, 2018
An archived copy of this webinar is available via DBI Moodle. However, participation in this experience is no longer eligible for CEUs.
This hour-long webinar is an introduction to the DeafBlind Interpreting National Training & Resource Center, the co-directors, and the core team members on the grant as well as the emerging research into protactile ASL as linguistically distinct from Visual ASL. 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. A pre- and post-assessment and evaluation are required for participants seeking CEUs.
