Rosemary R. Wanis, MSW, MS, CDI, Ed. D. (pending May, 2018) is offering a training as you seek to meet your goal of becoming a CDI. This training is presented jointly with Jim Brune, CDI and Rachel Kleist, CDI both from Cohort 1.

After attending the training you may feel more prepared to take the written RID CDI exams; however, this is not the focus of the training. The focus of the first part of the training is to give you a comprehensive foundation of what it means, and what it takes, to be a CDI. The focus of the second part of the training is to give you foundational skills and experience from which to begin your journey as a Deaf Interpreter Professional.

All of you are encouraged to contact your RID affiliate chapter for financial support/sponsorship as well as your Department of Rehabilitation Counselor to determine if you might be eligible for financial aid.

DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS FRIDAY, APRIL 20 Application Form

You are invited to apply to participate in a Deaf/Hearing Team Interpreting Training that will take place on FRIDAY, JUNE 15 AND SATURDAY, JUNE 16 IN FRESNO, CA.
Rosemary R. Wanis, Ed.D., CDI, Jim Brune, CDI, and Rachel Kleist, CDI, will be facilitating this training together.

We will have 20 Deaf individuals who are training to become Professional Deaf Interpreters from June 9 through June 17 and you are invited to join us for two days for the portion on deaf-hearing interpreting teams.
Therefore, we are opening up only 20 slots for interpreters who are hearing to join us for a joint effort to train side-by-side. This opportunity is intensive, hands-on, and a full immersion experience. All applicants are required to be fully committed and engaged in this process.

Grew up using hearing aids and speech/speechreading. After learning ASL at the age of 18 she went to Gallaudet and earned her Master's in Social Work and Master's in Administration in 1998. She has been a Certified Deaf Interpreter since 2005. Since that time has primarily worked in legal settings as well as a variety of community-based work. In 2013 she became a national certified Deaf Interpreter Training through NCIEC. Since that time she offers team trainings at least once a year in Fresno, California. She graduates from Fresno State with a doctorate in Educational Leadership in May, 2018.

Rachel Kleist is a Northern California native – primarily from the Sacramento area. Rachel began working as a Deaf interpreter on an as-needed basis for an agency that served Deaf plus adults in 2008. This experience led Rachel into an interest in the field of interpreting and obtaining more training. Rachel took her first “official” Deaf Interpreting workshop from Carole Lazorisak, in 2012. This interest and curiosity became a passion and Rachel continued searching for more training specific to Deaf Interpreters. She was part of Rosemary Wanis’ first cohort for the 40-hour Deaf Interpreter Training and has attended both historic Deaf Interpreter Conferences, in addition to two consecutive years of Mental Health Interpreter Trainings provided by the state of Alabama. Rachel became RID certified in 2016, and a credentialed Disaster Response Interpreter.
