How to Maximize Business & Personal Deductions for Anyone Filing Their Own Taxes
This Professional Studies program is offered for 0.2 PS CEUs at the little/none Content Knowledge Level. RID HQ is an approved RID CMP Sponsor for continuing education activities.
From TurboTax.com to FreeTaxUSA.com, there are a lot of options available to interpreters who want to file their own taxes. However, if you don’t have an understanding of business and personal deductions, many tax saving opportunities can easily fall through the cracks while self-filing. During this workshop participants will learn how to reduce their taxable income through maximizing both business and personal deductions when they file their own taxes. I will also show you where these deductions are reported on your tax return so you can double check it for accuracy before filing. And for those who are concerned about how much you might owe this year, I’ll explain how to easily calculate an estimate of your taxes to help you feel more prepared before you begin working on your taxes.
To Be Disabled or Not to Be Disabled: That is the Question
This Professional Studies program is offered for 0.2 PS CEUs at the little/none Content Knowledge Level. RID HQ is an approved RID CMP Sponsor for continuing education activities.
The Deaf community has always had a complicated relationship with the label and idea of being disabled or having a disability.  There are those who accept the label and there are those who refuse to, and this workshop will discuss why we have such polarizing views.  To those who think so, why is such a label unacceptable? The main focus of this session will be on why the label of disability has had such a negative impact on the deaf community.

Participants will gain deeper insights into the Black Deaf experience, learn about the power of community and advocacy, and leave with a greater understanding of how to foster inclusivity and empowerment.
Rethinking the Binary Paradigm in Interpreting
Includes a Live Web Event on 03/20/2025 at 6:00 PM (EDT)
This Professional Studies program is offered for 0.3 PS CEUs at the little/none Content Knowledge Level. RID HQ is an approved RID CMP Sponsor for continuing education activities.
We live in a world heavily influenced by either/or, us or them, and Deaf or hearing thinking. In the context of sign language interpretation in educational settings, this binary mind-set is often exclusionary of situational and socio-cultural considerations that may heavily impact interpreting outcomes. To address this critical shortcoming and identify potential solutions, the presenter will facilitate a conversation that explores and challenges a variety of assumptions, models, values and standard methods shared by interpreting professionals, interpreting educators, and interpreting agency representatives.
