Have you seen requests go out to work with Deaf-Blind individuals, but were afraid to take them?  What are the effective ways to interpret for Deaf-Blind individuals with varying degrees of vision loss?  This workshop provides answers to those questions. Through lecture and interactive activities, Matt and Patty will give an introduction to Deaf-Blind interpreting, as well as, an overview of common eye diseases found in Deaf-Blind people.  By learning to make modifications in how details are represented and specific techniques on tactile and close vision interpreting, participants will be taught how to tailor their skills to fit the various needs of Deaf-Blind consumers. Participants will gain knowledge and sensitivity to environmental factors that may significantly affect the interpreting process.  Teaming strategies and various strategies for conveying visual information while interpreting will be demonstrated.  A discussion about Deaf-Blind culture will also be included.
