Current Course Description: Throughout the course, students will be exploring a variety of communication strategies that can contribute to their skill set as ASL/English interpreters and Support Service Providers working with the Deaf-Blind community. Students will incorporate these strategies and personalize them depending on the individuals with whom they are working. Further analysis, examination, and awareness will focus on the cultural and sociological implications of this marginalized population.

New Course Description: Throughout the course, students will be exploring a variety of communication strategies that can contribute to their skill set as ASL/English interpreters and Support Service Providers working with the Deaf-Blind community. Students will incorporate these strategies and personalize them depending on the individuals with whom they are working. Further analysis, examination, and awareness will focus on the cultural and sociological implications of this marginalized population. Prerequisite and/or corequisite: INT254 and ASL302D or permission of instructor.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): An issue arose as students went to register for this course (offered Winter term, annually). For the Winter of 2012 we added pre-requisites (ASL 8 and Introduction to Interpreting). Unfortunately, this eliminated the eligibility of transfer students who were already accepted into our interpreting program, as well as Deaf students who may not have taken ASL 8 as they are native users of the language. Additionally, it was set up to be a co-occurring pre-requisite, wherein students could be enrolled in ASL 8 and Deaf-Blind Interpreting at the same time, but Introduction to Interpreting is only offered fall and spring--further limiting the access some students would have in their ability to register for the course. We would like to have it state: Pre-requisite: Introduction to Interpreting. Co-occurring: ASL 8, or by instructor approval. I hope that clarifies it!

Students/Program affected: Deaf students who may not need to take ASL Transfer students who may have taken Intro to Interpreting at another institution Students who have already taken ASL 8
