Educational Deaf Interpreter – PD Series

The Educational Deaf Interpreter (EDI) Professional Development Series includes six self-paced online courses designed to support Educational Deaf Interpreters working in K-12 educational settings.

The series covers the foundations of educational interpreting, including audiology, Deaf community and culture, language and child development, inclusive education, the role of the Educational Deaf Interpreter, and the unique needs of Deaf and DeafBlind students.

This bundle provides access to all six courses at a discounted price.

NOTE: These courses include examples, policies, roles, and practices specific to APSEA and schools in Atlantic Canada. However, the knowledge and strategies presented throughout the series are relevant and can be applied by Educational Deaf Interpreters, educators, and other professionals in a variety of educational settings.

ATTENTION: Please note that no formal certificates or professional credentials will be issued for completing this professional development series. However, you will receive a Recognition of Completion for each course you complete.

ACCESSIBILITY: APSEA is committed to making these professional development opportunities as accessible as possible. If the cost of this series presents a financial barrier, particularly for Deaf individuals who are independent contractors, self-employed, or currently unemployed, please contact APSEA to discuss whether a reduced rate may be available.

This professional development series was developed by Deaf Services Canada for the Atlantic Provinces Special Education Authority (APSEA).
