SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER

Corey's presentation about the Hard of Hearing community was engaging, informative, and incorporated many relatable aspects to an interpreter's work. Corey taught skills and reframing concepts that I knew I could immediately apply to my work. It is one of the most valuable workshops I've ever attended. Every interpreter should take Corey's training!

Educational Interpreter

As a twenty year veteran educational interpreter, I found that Corey Axelrod accurately portrayed various scenarios that an interpreter would face working with Deaf/Hard of Hearing students in a school setting. Through the lens of a Deaf/Hard of Hearing student, he provided information which allowed interpreters to navigate through various scenarios which led to self reflection. I would endorse Corey Axelrod and encourage other interpreters to attend his workshops.
