Sign language interpreters in Latin America

As coordinator of the AIIC Sign Language Network (SLN), I was invited to be one of the keynote speakers at the 3rd Latin America conference for sign language interpeters in Panama this summer. I presented on my research study on the status of sign language interpreting in Europe which I have been conducting over the past sixteen years. A second presentation on AIIC and SLN I held with Hilda Tejada, SLN member for Mexico. We provided insights into what AIIC stands for and the SLN achievements since 2012, the year sign language interpreters could join AIIC.
