Registration is now open for the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) online workshop, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., on Feb. 7. The deadline to register is Jan. 30.
The “Interpreting in the Time of Language Deprivation,” workshop will be presented by Wyatte C. Hall, Ph.D. Participants will get an overview of language deprivation research, Deaf public health, research with cochlear implants and signing, and will discuss interpreting for fifth- through 12th-grade Deaf students. They will also gain an understanding of the neurocritical period of language acquisition, general education and health outcomes, and the role of sign language in development of deaf children and cochlear implant outcomes.
When both enrollment and registration are completed by Jan. 30, the $75.00 registration fee is covered by the KSDE Special Education Title Services Team.
