Workshop Description
In the quest for the best practices, the field of interpreting and transliterating have borrowed from other professions to support the delivery of quality services. One of those techniques taken from the medical field is case conferencing to hone what Rushworth Kidder terms ethical fitness.
This workshop will outline the process for participating in case conferencing to discuss situations faced by interpreters and transliterators. Using the Demand Control Schema as developed by Robyn Dean and Robert Pollard, participants will be able to present their own cases and explain what challenges they face and the steps taken to address these demands.
This initial face-to-face workshop will provide the foundation for ongoing case conferencing supported by the Region III Low Incidence Project which will occur alternately online and in face-to-face settings.
Target Audience:
While designed specifically to address issues faced by interpreters and transliterators ~ other members of the educational team, such as teachers, speech language clinicians, parents, etc ~ would be welcome participants.
Workshop Objectives
Successful participants will be able to:
- Identify the four categories of demands in the Demand Control Schema
- Explain the three dimensions of interpreter role-space
- Evaluate sample case studies to determine effectiveness for case conferencing
- Construct a case study to be used in a case conferencing session
This session will be extremely interactive – using a combination of brief presentation and large and small group discussions.
