AM Session: Workshop participants will be presented with research findings about the impact of high-risk interpreting biomechanics and poor ergonomics on sign language interpreters. Students will learn which ergonomic and biomechanical factors have been found to put interpreters at risk, and will learn to identify those high-risk styles through observation.
The Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) is a tool designed to evaluate the voice-to-sign and sign-to-voice interpreting skills of interpreters who work in elementary and secondary school classroom settings.
