Tactify! Emboss Interpreting Skill Set for DeafBlind Individuals |
Visual Vernacular: Medical Interpreting Time: 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm Presenter: Daniel Israilov |
|
| So, what if you never had experience encountering a DeafBlind client? Here’s your chance to amplify your skillset. You will learn from a Professional DeafBlind advocate instructor. Seasoned interpreters are welcome to freshen up their knowledge to current DB tactical trends. Come one, come all! For engagement dynamics in language integration, Hurry! Seats will fill up quickly. See the registration link below. |
More often than not, interpreters would sign medical terms with the assumption that the Deaf clients know what they mean. How many times have we interpreted “high blood pressure,” without creating an anatomy visualization for the client? What does high blood pressure really mean? In this workshop, we will go beyond signing word for word by elaborating and painting a picture for our clients to understand the meanings of simple and complex medical terminologies. We will focus on utilizing different Visual Vernacular aspects (facial expressions, classifiers, body movement, etc) and how to apply them. This workshop contains multiple hands-on activities and practices to allow registrants self-evaluate and gradually enhance their skills. |
