Deaf-Blind Interpreting through the Lens of the Demand Control Schema Sunday, 10/26/14 7:00 - 8:30pm EST Susanne Morgan Morrow, MA, CI, CT with Deaf-Blind Community Guest, Karen Bailey, MA Cost: $27.99 CEUs: .15 Professional Studies* Webinar Overview Interpreting as an interactive dynamic has challenges (demands) and resources (controls) that an interpreter will face in any given situation. Research has shown that burnout or professional exhaustion occurs when there is an imbalance between increased demands and decreased controls. The Demand-Control Schema (DCS) is a theoretical framework that allows interpreters to assess and mitigate the stressors that are inherent in the work of sign language interpreting. If an interpreter does not possess the accurate tools to adjust to the scenario of interpreting for a deaf-blind consumer, the stress experienced by the interpreter is increased. Any difference in the anticipated consumer then, presumably, can have an effect on the demands defined in the DCS. In this webinar, participants will analyze a variety of scenarios involving deaf-blind individuals to explore how their physiological (visual) experience interacts with the above demands and the controls an interpreter possesses that can mitigate those challenges. *CEUs sponsored by Mill Neck Interpreter Service Karen Bailey, MA Guest Presenter Karen Bailey, M.A., has Usher Syndrome, type 3.
