Description
Theory of Mind (ToM) is a crucial cognitive skill that underpins communication, social interaction, and learning. For Deaf students, differences in access to incidental learning and social cues make ToM an important consideration for educational interpreters.
Join us as Karen O’Reilly explores the concept of Theory of Mind and discuss how it relates to our work. This session covers:
- The foundations of ToM and its development in children and adolescents.
- How ToM shapes interactions, learning experiences, and peer relationships.
- Strategies to support perspective-taking, inferencing, and comprehension in interpreted settings.
- Practical applications—how an understanding of ToM can enhance our role as interpreters.
Whether you’re looking to build on existing knowledge or gain fresh insights, this webinar will provide valuable perspectives and tools to support Deaf learners in their cognitive and social development.
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion on the role of Theory of Mind in educational interpreting!
