The trap and drain in most sinks gets it's venting from the overflow tube in the sink or in the case of a double kitchen sink, one side gets it from the other. One problem is with most cultured marble and cast sinks. Most of these do not have an overflow feature and may drain slow.

Your kitchen sink should already be vented if there is a p-trap draining to the wall. if it is an s-trap it is not vented and not to present code requirements. The dishwasher drain goes into the side of the disposal and the disposal should drain to the trap. A separate vent is not required for the disposal or dishwasher as the trap for the sink is what requires a vent.
