[nabs-l] blind students in ASL courses

[Loew, Ruth]

Hi - I'm a sighted lurker on this listserv.  I know many of you from
NABS meetings at the NFB Conventions and Washington Seminars.

I participate in another listserv for people who work with deaf and hard
of hearing college students.  Today someone raised an interesting
question: a blind student has registered for an ASL (American Sign
Language) class, and the Disability Services counselor is looking for
suggestions as to how to make the class accessible and meaningful.  

I know that some NABS members have taken ASL courses.  Do any of you
have ideas I could pass on to my colleagues?  You may contact me
off-list at RLoew at ets.org; or, if you think the discussion would be of
interest to others, feel free to post to the list, and I'll see your
responses there.  Thanks!
