8:30 am – 12:00 pm: “Fingerspelled Word Recognition for
Interpreters”
with
Carol J. Patrie, Ph.D, CSC, SC:L, CI, CT
Workshop Description: This
workshop is designed for interpreters, regardless of the number of years of
experience, who usually understand most of the signed message and often
struggle with reading fingerspelled words. This workshop does not include
expressive fingerspelling practice. Topics include: myths related
to fingerspelled word recognition, stress as it relates fo fingerspelled word
recognition, cognitive processing and memory as they relate to fingerspelled
word recognition, and rapid serial visual processing. The goal is to introduce
strategies that will lead to improved fingerspelled word recognition on the
first try. This is usually offered in a 9 - 4 workshop. This workshop does not
require participants to interpret or to do expressive fingerspelling. It
provides a relaxed environment to absorb some fascinating new ideas about
improving skills that surround a common stumbling block for interpreters.
Tuition and CEU: .35 CEU, $45
per person

1:00 – 5:00 pm: “So Many Decisions, So Little Time:
Using
Demand Control Schema for Ethical and Effective Decision Making”
with
Anne Acampora Braun, CI, CT
Workshop
Description: As
interpreters we have a Professional Code of Conduct which serves as a
fundamental guideline to ethical decision making. However, situations are
not black and white, making it necessary to analyze the situation quickly and
respond accordingly. As experienced interpreters who have dealt with a variety
of people, in a variety of situations, our decision making skills become intuitive
and often difficult to articulate. What has become second nature to
experienced interpreters is often a stumbling block for less seasoned
interpreters. This workshop will help externalize a process of ethical decision
making so that we can talk about our decisions with our colleagues or those
interpreters just staring out in the field. This will benefit all levels of
interpreters and will be extremely beneficial for interpreters who serve as
mentors. This is a workshop where you will be challenged to think and
discuss sensitive issues, and be active participants in the learning process.
