CALI CONVERSATION SERIES
This series include diverse perspectives—Deaf perspectives, Coda perspectives, BIPOC perspectives, and more. Several of the people participating in these videos are immigrants, or first-generation Americans. Because they are talking with one another, you have access to rich insights you might not be exposed to if these individuals were talking with you directly.

CONVERSATION 6 features two interpreters, that discuss their experiences working with deaf individuals who exhibit atypical language use. They have a specific focus on deaf children and deaf children who are part of immigrant families.
