    This webinar seeks to break old assumptions and beliefs about the roots of deaf interpreters. Did you know that… Deaf interpreters are not a recent development. Their work has evolved over centuries, and this workshop demonstrates how the DI role emerged with separate historical foundations from their hearing counterparts. Understanding our origins from different and complimentary centers is critical to unpacking stereotypes, challenging assumptions, and moving forward as a profession. Deaf interpreters do have historical evidence. This workshop reveals inspiring accounts about centuries of DIs from documented court cases. Participants will recognize themselves as they explore centuries-ago creative interpreting strategies under pressure in working with deaf witnesses, victims, and defendants – both with and without hearing interpreter teams. Deaf interpreters were not begun only in the United States. Though we use different signed languages, we share substantial intersectionality with BSL interpreters, through our common past of older educational and especially legal access in the United Kingdom. This webinar has been approved for 0.3 PS PPO RID CEUs at the Little/None content knowledge level.

    During Beyond the Spectrum: Exploration, participants will encounter privilege, identity, intersectionality, stigma, and ableism through a neurodivergent lens. This knowledge will encourage participants to assess and remove barriers throughout the interpreting profession. After the presenters provide an introduction to the neurodivergent community, conditions, and commonly used terminology, participants will have an opportunity to apply the Demand-Control Schema and analyze the unique challenges that neurodivergent interpreters experience. These activities will prompt participants to internalize the power of “and” in regards to what neurodivergent interpreters bring to the profession - individually and collectively. No CEUs will be awarded for this registration option.
