[nfb-db] rules in the ASLlab

[heather albright]

My problem is that they told me I cant speak if I have any questions or ask 
about a sign or how to make the sign!  They said I will be asked to leave 
and cant come back till the next day!  If I do it more than three times, I 
am band from the lab for 2 weeks!  But I cant read the book with all the 
signs or see the videos!  I am supposed to have 21 hours in the lab!  I 
understand that you should use ASL but if you don't know it, how can you use 
it!  If you cant see the person signing, what should you do?  I have two 
tactile interpreters signing to me with me know any sign language at all. I 
only get 5 percent of what their saying! Is there a better method of 
teaching me?  Even people taking ESL use their language to teach someone 
English!

  Hello, I was wondering about the rules in the ASL lab!  They said I cant 
talk in the lab at all, it is against the rules to speak!  So if I don't get 
something, I cant ask to be sure!  Is that not against ADA because, I won't 
have equal access to the lab! If I speak they can make me leave, they said I 
can go to another room but, it won't be the lab!   Afterall I am blind and 
if I cant ask about a sign, that seems a little unfair!  So how can a 
colledge say this to me and other blind students taking ASL?    Heather
