Continuing Education
Anytime that you register for a workshop for CEUs, make sure that it is approved by the licensure board and it is an RID approved workshop.
Here are a few outlets for CEUs:
Kentucky Association of the Deaf at times offer CEUs for its annual conference.
Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) has a database and you can see if your area will be offering any workshops soon.
Always check the KCDHH Bulletin board for information.
