The National Center collaborates with five Regional Interpreter Education Centers, providing leadership, coordination, needs assessment, and professional development supports and services in a national effort to enhance communication access for Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hearing communities interacting with one another. We are charged with coordinating the interpreting education activities of the Regional Centers, measuring the outcomes and impact of our individual center and collaborative work, and providing teacher training opportunities that will lead to enhanced interpreting education practices and outcomes over time.
