SignTalk Foundation is pleased to announce their sponsorship of the upcoming International Deaf-Blind Expo that’s taking place in Las Vegas, NV from July 30 – August 3, 2014. This expo is the first time that experts in the field of deaf-blindness are coming together to display state-of-the-art technological devices for people with combined hearing and vision loss. Leaders from the Deaf-Blind community will also be present sharing current trends in the field.
A $500 scholarship was awarded to Barbara Russ Smith of Chestnut Ridge, NY. An affiliate of SignTalk’s, Barbara is a nationally certified interpreter and is very motivated to continue her work in the Deaf-Blind community. She most recently participated in an intensive interpreter education seminar through Helen Keller National Center on deaf-blind interpreting strategies, facilitated by Susanne Morgan Morrow.
Congratulations, Barbara and good luck with the expo!
