Heather,
I am a bit confused. I think others have given you good solutions to the lab situation, althought annoying, I hope you can stick with the class. I am confused though. I am assuming that you know the alphabet? And that when your in class you are learning the signs tacutally? I mean by tactually is by your hands on top of their hands. Interpertors can go very fast but if they slow down, break down the signs so you know the movement, you can pick it up. I had also wanted to take a ASL at my university but chose not too, as I was concerned at how much I would actually learn. 

Good luck!~

> 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
