If you are working with Deaf students as a CSW or Educational Interpreter - or hope to in the future - then this live webinar is for you!

  • Does the role of a CSW differ from that of an Educational Interpreter? If so, how?
  • What strategies can you employ for the seemingly endless jargon and subject-specfic terminology that comes your way?
  • How do you model good boundaries with your student and what do you do when those are pushed?
  • How do you take care of your physical health when asked to interpret long lectures?

These subjects and more are discussed during this webinar!
