Dennis,

There is a Website dedicated to FL disabilities that may have what you need:

A Teacher's Guide to Foreign Language Learning Disabilities
http://www.fln.vcu.edu/ld/ld.html

Good luck.  My best to Kisa - one of my favorite students at Augustana.

Mike

w/disabilities

                IALL Colleagues:

                Our new Dean has asked our department (and others, I
believe) to have a
                written policy regarding foreign language alternatives for
students with
                disabilities.  To be sure we have discussed and outlined
things like sight
                and hearing impaired, but el deano wants a more inclusive
policy in writing.

                I have seen both on line and in the LLTI archives some
communiques dealing
                with related issues, i.e., use of signing, etc., but I am
asking my IALL
                colleagues now if you have dealt with this issue and could
either share
                some kind of document or refer us to an appropriate FL
study/disabilities
                source?

                You may send them to me off line at my address below or the
the LLTI
                listserv.  I'll compile them and share them with you.

                Con gracias anticipadas,

                Dennis Magnuson
