Individualized Mentoring
Participants meet bimonthly with a mentor, complete targeted assignments, submit interpreting samples, and receive detailed, actionable feedback to support measurable progress. The mentoring relationship adapts to each interpreter’s goals, pace, and professional context.
In addition to the regular meetings with their mentor, participants have access to a Deaf Language Specialist who will provide guidance in Advanced ASL topics including vocabulary, grammar, and syntax.
