This webinar will focus on working with clients who are Asian (-American).
We’ll be discussing and taking an introspective look at topics such as microaggressions, biases, tokenism and representation.
Intersection can sometimes make situations challenging so we’ll also talk about the effects of identity and labels.
Together, we’ll brainstorm and discuss what interpreters can do when working with Deaf Asian Americans.
Educational Objectives:
1. Participants will understand and identify the subgroups of Deaf Asians.
2. Participants will list at least one way that culture and tradition affect how Deaf Asians
interact with authority, their peers and interpreters.
3. Participants will identify the steps they can take to become effective communication
facilitators as well as allies for Deaf Asians during this time of COVID-19.
