Prior to my current studies, I had 4 (or 5?) levels of ASL, offered by Deaf Adult Services in Buffalo, NY. As the last of those classes drew to a close, it was announced that the next stepwould be entrance into an ITP, offered by the same agency.…Continue

I have taken the written test twice. Failed both times. It doesn't have much to do with interpreting experience . It's more about linguistic rules.It is difficult because many times these are not rules you consciously think about. When we speak…Continue

VRI DEBATE
Posted by Christopher DeYoung on October 17, 2011 at 4:46pm 1 Comment 0 Favorites
Imin an interp. prep program in Illinois and we got talking to the local Advocates for Access group about the use of VRI in hospital settings. Apparently a few hospitals in the area refuse to contact a LIVE interpreter for their Deaf patience. They claim that having the VRI is more than efficient. I have spoken with a couple Deaf people who would much rather have a LIVE interpreter. One says she was in the middle of a surgery when the VRI lost its connection, other instances where they would… Continue
TRS Fund - Goverment dollars or private group purchasing mechanism for telecoms?
Posted by Daryl G Crouse on August 2, 2011 at 8:31pm 0 Comments 0 Favorites
It is my assertion that the TRS Fund is not tax dollars and it is not a government fund. The money collected serves as nothing more than a group purchasing schema in order that every "mom and pop" telephone company in America does not have to provide relay. They can ultimately choose to do so if they want but their contribution to the fund serves the industries best interest by consolidating the purchasing power of all the telephone companies to…

First Entry....hmmm

Wow! I just found this website and I'm SO excited! I can't believe I've been missing out on this wonderful resource. Although I am EIPA certified, I have moved to Texas and am now working toward the BEI test. Hopefully, I will be taking it very soon. I'm very nervous as it's been a long time (about 1 1/2 years) since I've really even used sign language. Trying to get my brain back on track so I can pass and hopefully be blessed enough to land a job next school year.
