Materials and products for Students with Disabilities vary according to the disability identified. While there is much to preview, you must make decisions based upon the needs of the student. The individual disability of a student along with age appropriate materials and products are to be considered when making decisions. Students in elementary school may have different needs then those in secondary though they may have the same disability. All of these variables are to be taken into consideration when reviewing materials or products. |

ASL Video Dictionary and Inflection Guide
Resource Type:
Date: 5/1/2009 Author: Geoffrey Poor; Rochester Institute of Technology: National Technical Institute for the Deaf
| | | This is the first and only product that links thousands of signs to sentences that show how they change. This is critical because unlike English words, ASL signs change - inflect - from sentence to sentence to show different meanings. The sign for help, for example, can change to mean help me, help them, help for a long time, etc. The experts at RIT's National Technical Institute for the Deaf have developed this innovative dictionary that not only shows you 2,700 signs, but shows most of them in sentences. You can see the inflections and learn how they work to help gain a true understanding of the language of ASL, not just a list of its vocabulary. | |
