As educational interpreters, we influence the manner in which children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH) use American Sign Language (ASL).  Join this class to learn the areas of ASL that are skewed or missing from some DHH adults that were mainstreamed, and what you can do to minimize this.  This class will have you analyze your use of ASL and look at the new standards of ASL for K-12 students.  

About the Presenter

Dawn holds RID Certifications of NIC, CT, AND Ed. K-12. She began interpreting in Wisconsin public schools in 1992 and has simultaneously held a DSPS license since its inception. She was one of the original evaluators of the Educational Interpreter Proficiency Assessment (EIPA), a mentor with the Educational Interpreter Mentor Project (EIMP), and served one term as a member of the State Superintendent’s Advisory Council on Deaf/Hard of Hearing Programs.
