My obsession is how language reveals so much about how a person is feeling and what cognitive skills or difficulties they have: that that is so much easier to spot in sign language than in speech. \nIn my private work (Austen Psychology)\, I provide training and supervision to psychologists and interpreters. My mission being to take things that appear complicated and demystify them. \nI also do some Expert Witness court work\, which requires a bizarre mix of humility and arrogance. \nI am co-editor of Deafness in Mind\, Austen and Crocker\, 2004 and Deafness and Challenging Behaviour\, Austen and Jeffery (2007). \nI also have a book coming out soon entitled: \nAn introductory guide for professionals \nWORKING WITH DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING CLIENTS \nin clinical\, legal\, educational\, and social care settings\, Austen and Holmes (in press) \nI am looking forward to working with ASLI West Midlands. \n*** \nThis two hour session\, equalling two structures CPD points\, will be delivered in spoken English – please let us know if you require a BSL/English interpreter or have any other additional access requirements. \nTickets are £10.00 for members and £20.00 for non-members. There are limited spaces\, so please book now to avoid disappointment! \nWe look forward to seeing you on Saturday 12th June 2021 at 2:00 pm. \nLiz\, Ruth\, Selina and Vicki. \nwestmidlands@asli.org.uk \n  URL:https://asli.org.uk/event/online-west-midlands-interpreting-difficulties-when-working-with-clients-who-have-mental-health-linguistic-and-cognitive-challenges/ CATEGORIES:CPD,Online Event,Webinar ORGANIZER;CN="West Midlands Region":MAILTO:westmidlands@asli.org.uk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
