Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) using a mixed method approach
of quantitative and qualitative analyses. QRIS is a collaboration between The

DeafBlind Interpreting
Western Oregon University’s Regional Resource Center on Deafness is establishing a national center on DeafBlind interpreting. Within a framework of evidence-based practice, the DeafBlind Interpreting National Training and Resource Center (DBI) will enhance communication access for persons who are DeafBlind by increasing the number of interpreters able to effectively interpret utilizing tactile communication and other strategies. CREA is conducting the overall evaluation for this project, designing needs assessment surveys and analyses, and providing the assessment of the upcoming training for DeafBlind interpreters.
