Technology, whether we like it or not, is an interpreter's best friend. One thing is for sure, we don't use it to its maximum capacity as ASL interpreters. Technology has become a tool that we can use to improve our skills in a variety of ways: watching TedTalks or Deaf vlogs to learn specialized vocabulary about a certain topic, listen to NPR or follow a Deaf Facebook page to familiarize yourself with current events, or learn about apps that students you work with use as well as ones that would help you as an interpreter. Technology is everywhere and regardless of how many years you've been an interpreter, we can use it on a daily basis to improve our work.
Cancellation: You can cancel your own registration for an event before the cancellation deadline. (Please check the event information for specific cancellation details.) If the event has a fee, refunds are possible only if cancellation is prior to the deadline. If you do not attend and do not cancel prior to an event, you are still responsible for payment and will be billed.
Special Accommodations: Please alert BrightWorks 2-3 weeks prior to the workshop/event if you need special accommodations, including sign language interpreters. (BrightWorks requires a notice of 2 business days to cancel a sign language interpreter. If you fail to cancel, we reserve the right to bill your school/district for this expense.) Update your profile as needed. Special accommodations are not included with each registration, but are stored in your profile until you make changes.
