Myers & Lawyer is an Approved RID CMP Sponsor for Continuing Education Activities. This Professional Studies program is offered for .15 PS CEUs at the “some” Content Knowledge Level.

SICK-ME! GULP! CLOSE-THROAT! CHA-HEAD! Great signs! But what are the English equivalents? As with any language there’s not always a one-to-one translation. This workshop will review a body of ASL vocabulary generally considered “un-translatable!” We’ll investigate the meaning of the sign and learn how to brainstorm the most appropriate word or words for different situations.
