Hi,
I just am curious if any of you are interested in mathematics, astronomy, meteorology, general chemistry, geology, drawing, painting, biology, French or Irish. I have some ideas on making these subjects completely tactile I am fluent in most of these subjects as well.

Of course, Janeice and Scott are right; but also know that there are deaf-blind communicators, of which the latest technology from Humanware works with an app from the iPhone. There are more and more ways, including sign language used tactually, to communicate with the deaaf-blind. Hang around, and share your thoughts with us as we take shape. Cathy Miller

One of the things they talked about during the information packed weekend was Deaf-Blind Interpreting.? There is a National Deaf-Blind Interpreter Task Force.? Their website is:? http://www.deafblindinterpreting.org/.? Please consider checking out that website.?
>> ? It is important that you complete all of your ASL coursework and obtain your bachelors degree for National certification in Sign Language Interpreting.? There will also be special training for Deaf-Blind Interpreting.? In order to sit for the National Registry of Interpreting for the Deaf National Certification you are required ot have a bachelor's degree.? Many states are now beginning to require national certification for interpreters.?
>> ? Many organizations serving the Deaf-Blind community are starting to seek legislation to strengthen the qualifications for Deaf-Blind Interpreters. We are in need of more qualified interpreters.? There needs to be more training classes specifically geared toward interpreting for the Deaf-Blind.
>> ?? You also might want to consider taking Intervener training which is offered in your home state of Utah.? Please consider this training as there is so1much valuable information to gleam from this class.? The website for this information is http://intervener.org/?page_id=3
