Hi! I got the message!  Training <tell me about it> is my problem too.  I know that NTID has the SCPI evaluation, but it is for signing not interpreting.  Still... I feel it provided helpful feedback to me.  I have heard that NAD will come out with a interpreter certification this year.  I hope it is cheaper than RID's <smile>. Here in Mobile we have an interpreter training program at one of the community colleges <I went through it> that constantly drills the students with video tapes and audio tapes.  Ou
r state RID has a lending library including many commercially produced videos and afew locally made tapes.  This are available to members free, except for return postage I think.  Perhaps we could make a deal to share tapes.  You send us tapes of your local deaf folks and we could do the same.  That would build both libraries and give
both of us exposure to new signers.  If y'all are not members of RID I would suggest joining.  It really is worth it in the long run.  That is how we can shape our profession.  Yeah the money stinks here too! <HA! HA!> but I love this profession.  I am freelance and also contract with a service center.  I am planning to, with the new year, pursue the private practice end of it more.  I am lucky where I am.  I am the interpreter and that is all.  No extra duties to burn me out.
Well write back and we will keep the dialogue going.  BYE    TED
