This Professional Studies program is offered for 0.3 PS CEUs at the little/none Content Knowledge Level. RID HQ is an approved RID CMP Sponsor for continuing education activities.
We live in a world heavily influenced by either/or, us or them, and Deaf or hearing thinking. In the context of sign language interpretation in educational settings, this binary mind-set is often exclusionary of situational and socio-cultural considerations that may heavily impact interpreting outcomes. To address this critical shortcoming and identify potential solutions, the presenter will facilitate a conversation that explores and challenges a variety of assumptions, models, values and standard methods shared by interpreting professionals, interpreting educators, and interpreting agency representatives.

As ableism is embedded in many of our social structures, Deaf and hard of hearing individuals are often on the receiving end of such behaviors. The majority of these attitudes, stereotypes and stigmas are a byproduct of people having limited exposure to or awareness of Deaf and hard of hearing individuals. However, there are unfortunate instances in which interpreters may inadvertently exacerbate institutional ableism and perpetuate systemic ableism in educational settings. To address and counter these often-unintentional behaviors, the presenter will discuss potential root causes of ableism within educational settings.
