The Nervous System: Volume 2

Volume II covers; Additional Nervous System overview, Multiple Sclerosis and Tourettes Syndrome.

Interpreters begin with an assignment to research the diagnosis and demonstrate their understanding of the diagnosis and pathology in English by writing a narrative report of their research. Next the interpreter will observe the description of the diagnosis and its pathology in ASL, describe what they understand the system, function and dysfunction of the system to be, and then analyze the ASL description of the process to identify classifiers and key vocabulary related to the medical procedure.

The objective of this course is to expand the interpreter’s understanding of nervous system pathology, body systems and provide model language that they can use when interpreting in healthcare settings to render more accurate and comprehensive interpretation of the medical conditions covered in this course.
