What They're Saying About 2axend...
Jamie Nick
Educational interpreter
Corey Axelrod was a dynamic presenter. Pulling from his own experiences growing up, he had me reflecting on my own practices when working with hard of hearing individuals and how I can tailor my work to their own specific needs and circumstances. His 'hard of hearing' workshop should be on the "must attend list" for all new and seasoned interpreters as well as Deaf educators. I appreciated his knowledge and humor and will definitely seek out more presentations that he develops.
MAUREEN ALVARADO
Educational Interpreter
As a twenty year veteran educational interpreter, I found that Corey Axelrod accurately portrayed various scenarios that an interpreter would face working with Deaf/Hard of Hearing students in a school setting. Through the lens of a Deaf/Hard of Hearing student, he provided information which allowed interpreters to navigate through various scenarios which led to self reflection. I would endorse Corey Axelrod and encourage other interpreters to attend his workshops.
