I am giving a keynote address this weekend on language deprivation and K-12 interpreting. As I think about this topic, one thing I am struck by as a former mainstreamed student and now deaf professional is how similar interpreting issues are in K-12 and deaf professional realms.

This is such a major milestone: On Thursday 12 Sept at 4-5.15pm CET, the Council of Europe will host a webinar on the importance of sign languages and their teaching, learning and assessment through the #CEFR Companion Volume. Sign up required by tomorrow! coe.int/en/web/languag…

NIH-wide actions outlined: - Develop agency-wide NIH Strategic Plan for Disability Research - Engage with disability community to discuss needs, challenges, and goals - Establish Council of Councils Disability Research Working Group dpcpsi.nih.gov/sites/default/…
