Deaf-Hearing Team Interpreting in Action

Join us for a dynamic two-part workshop designed to deepen collaboration between Deaf and hearing interpreters. Friday evening will focus on foundational concepts through lectures and guided discussion, while Saturday offers hands-on practice in mock scenarios that bring those strategies to life.

This workshop is open to certified hearing interpreters and Deaf interpreters who are either certified or non-certified with some formal training. Our goal is to support stronger local collaboration, increase comfort and confidence in team interpreting, and create a space where interpreters can grow, connect, and learn from one another in an authentic and supportive environment.
