In this segment of "Time We Discuss" I speak with Author, Interpreter,
and Educator for the Deaf, Jared Lopatin. Spoiler alert - discover just
how little I know about this occupation, right at the opening question
:-D
In this awesome conversation with Jared, we learn that ASL is just
another language and teaching is teaching. He talks about possible
credentials needed to work in this career as well as well. In speaking
with Jared, we learn about the different between signing and
interpreting.
At the end of the segment, we speak about Jared's start as an author and
he speaks briefly about the five books which he has published (links
below).
Because I've already spoken with several authors recently, I didn't
spend much time on this particular topic. Instead, I focused on his work
as an educator and interpreter.
After watching this video, you should have a general idea of what career
paths are available for someone pursuing a career in Deaf Education and
whether or not this could be a good career choice for you.
