Professional Teaching Standard Board:

The Wyoming Registry of Interpreter for the Deaf (WYRID) would like to thank you for your work in trying to establish educational interpreter standards across our state. We believe that interpreter standards are vital to ensure quality education for students who are deaf or hard of hearing.

We want to encourage you to continue this process. We believe standards for educational interpreters must go forward. We are willing to assist you in any way we can. Please let us know how we can help.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Shearer, CT/CI

WYRID President
