Free web lessons in ASL for working with a student with special needs?

Most individuals do not have experience with disabilities until a loved one or close family member become disabled. It is pretty hard to educate people with that thinking but possible. I tend to think it is a lack of education on the parent's side about what special education is and the help the particular child is receiving. The best analogy I can think of explaining the situation with her is pretty simple. Would you break the law if you disagreed with it? Most reasonable people would answer no. Tell her that special education student has the same right to be in that particular classroom as their child otherwise the school district would be breaking the law and wasting her taxpayer money defending themselves in court sometimes which could better be spent on classroom instruction or even new textbooks for her daughter to learn from. I would also explain to the parent that the educational assistant is there to help educate the special education student without taking time from the other students in the classroom. They help keep the child on tract, answer questions they might have on something, etc. I would explain there are probably other disabled children in the classroom without her knowledge. This particular child stands out since he has an educational assistant. For example, a child with glasses and a low vision disability might need a better placement in the classroom than an ordinary seating assignment. Would she consider that particular child taking away from her child's education because the child sits closer to the blackboard? Good luck!

Check Youtube to learn ASL. I actually went on Youtube learn how to count in sign language. You can play it over & over again.

Just make sure it say American Sign Language & not other countries.
