Applications are now open for the 2019 DeafBlind
Interpreting Institute (DBII) cohort. Now is the time to apply! The call for applications will close on Sunday,
February 17th at 9pm.
Under the direction
of DeafBlind leaders and DBI staff, cohort participants will learn more about
DeafBlind culture and protactile ASL through an 80-hour intensive experience,
including a 6-week online learning community, 1-week onsite for protactile ASL
immersion, and 10+-hours of service and applied learning (induction) in the
participant's home community with DeafBlind individuals.
There is no other intensive, immersion opportunity preparing
interpreters to work with DeafBlind folks and their language. We are grateful
to the amazing DeafBlind leaders, teachers, trainers, and mentors who are
partnering with DBI to make this program and its content a reality!
DBI has already received a high volume of interest in this
training and we can only admit a total of 48 participants for the 2019 cohorts
(24 in each cohort), so be sure to spread the word and encourage folks to
apply!
