OMG! This is So Embarrassing! But How Do You Sign...Having Sex? (0.2)

This workshop will provide a forum for discussing situations in which interpreters have to use sex signs in their interpretation. It is imperative that interpreters feel comfortable using this terminology as the dynamics of the interaction between the hearing and Deaf consumers as well as the interpreters can be impacted. Through instruction and discussion, interpreters will gain a better understanding of the signs that may be used in assignments related to sex, childbirth, and medical procedures. Skill development activities during the workshop will ensure that participants are able to apply what they have learned.
