Would you be surprised if I told you that most of us—unintentionally—introduce barriers in that building process? These barriers prevent a large segment of your clients from understanding\, engaging\, and consuming your work. I’m referring to individuals with disabilities and the barriers in the digital space. \nYou may be thinking\, “I don’t know anyone with disabilities!” According to the World Health Organization\, 16% of the world’s population\, or one in six global citizens\, has a condition that limits mobility\, communication\, and work skills. 27% of Americans are affected by at least one disability that causes them to struggle in the digital world. These individuals are your clients and they would like to consume the content you are creating. Let’s learn simple techniques that will make your translation and interpreting accessible to everyone. \nBy attending this webinar\, you will:\n\nUnderstand various types of disabilities and how they impact a person’s ability to navigate and operate in the digital space.\nGain a high-level understanding of the rules governing digital accessibility and how they apply to the work that translators and interpreters do.\nCome away with techniques\, tips\, and tools you can use in your daily work to make it accessible to all your clients\, including those with disabilities.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nGosia Wheeler is a Polish into English translator specializing in technology and digital accessibility translation.

Deliberate practice is needed to attain expertise\, and two of the cornerstones of deliberate practice are constructive feedback and repetition. This webinar will help you develop tools to increase the value of the feedback you give to yourself and colleagues. You will be given a rubric to use when giving yourself or others feedback and practice giving constructive\, well-argued feedback for interpreters. \nDuring the session\, you will interpret a short example scenario while recording yourself\, and then you will reflect on your recordings and repeat the scenario to improve. This will give you time to actively apply what you learn during the webinar. You will also receive temporary two-month access to Terp\, an interactive platform for practicing interpreting. You will receive instructions on how to complete practice sessions on Terp and send these practice sessions (which will include recordings of your interpretations) to colleagues to request feedback from them. These learning activities will help you unlock the power of constructive feedback and repetition. \nBy attending this webinar\, you will:\n\nIncorporate principles of deliberate practice into your interpreting training.\nEvaluate interpretations using a structured rubric.\nProvide constructive feedback tailored to interpreters.\nArticulate the strengths and areas for improvement in an interpretation with clarity and objectivity.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nDevin Gilbert is a translation/interpreting practitioner\, educator\, and researcher.
