Past DITO Participant Testimonials:
“Deaf Interpreting Training Online (DITO) offers excellent opportunity and convenience. Because the training is held online, I was able to participate from home with my son. Online training broadens my network. This is a place where you meet people you may have never met before. Because I am a self-motivator, self-discipline, and self-starter, this training fits me beautifully. DITO is the paramount option that does not require traveling, which is a huge benefit for many including myself. The courses were the most mind-blowing educational experience I’ve ever had.”
