New SSP Training Workshop 2022

Sight-Hearing Encouragement Program – Shep is now announcing the SSP training on August 26th and 27th, 2022. It will be held at OSU-OKC.

What is a SSP you ask?

SSP is a Support Service Provider as individuals who help members of the DeafBlind community, in allowing them to borrow your eyes and ears to encourage and promote them in being independent. SSPs do transporting or meeting at places as a guide and an environmental explainer. This helps bridge the gap for those with dual sensory loss in empowering yet still promoting DeafBlind individuals in making their own choices in life.

If you are interested in becoming a SSP and bridging that gap of information and accessible for the DeafBlind, please sign up now!

You will need attend both dates, August 26 and 27th to complete training and testing to become a certified and paid SSP.

There are three SSP levels, which depend on your skill level. This is will evaluated through our testing process with DeafBlind leaders who will determine your level.

Level one – guides, explains environmental information and speaks with a clear voice. This level does not use and doesn’t have to be a signer of sign languages.

Level two – guides, explains environmental information in a clear voice or no voice (if Deaf), uses close-up sign language in beginner to intermediate signing of ASL, PSE and or SEE.

Level three – guides, explains environmental information completely hand in hand using tactile signing of: ASL, PSE and or SEE. Is also a fluent signer with some tactile, and Pro-tactile included.

It is free to register! Sign up now at our website www.shep-ok.org/become-ssp. You can also email cassandra@shep-ok.org if that’s easier for you!

Training address:

OSU-OKC Education Resource Center

**Will give exact building room details to those that register.

As interpreters, we are usually the only ones in the room who understand what everyone else is saying. Often times, our Hearing and Deaf clients have very different world views and we feel stuck in the middle. How do we successfully voice or sign the intended message in a way that makes cultural sense to our clients and how do we keep from allowing our own cultural biases from impeding their understanding? Come learn with this unique mother-daughter team as we discover strategies for cultural bridge-building! Presented in sign language

2017-2018 OKC Metro Interpreter Workshop Series - “Say What?”

Presenters: Rene’ Ryan and Kena Lundy

“Say What?” Often, as interpreters, we focus upon sign expansion since that isn’t the native language for most of us. However, the words we select can make a difference in how our deaf consumer is viewed in the hearing world. Are we doing all we can to reduce barriers and misconceptions… or are we oppressing and limiting them based upon OUR OWN limitations? This workshop will focus on expanding interpreters’ vocabulary so we can do the most professional job possible.
