I think after watching this video it relates to the learning outcome of describing two modes of communication. This school is a place where english and ASL are taught equally making it both a visual and oral learning experience. What surprised me most is that Randall, a student at WSD, came 8 hours just to attend this school. He tried to convince his mom that this was the best choice for him, and I think that is pretty cool.

  1. Yes, the key to understanding the bi-lingual approach is that it means to languages, ASL and English. That does not necessarily mean that English is "oral." The focus on English is typically on the printed form of English, reading and writing. Certainly, in this environment if students wish to have speech therapy it is available to them. However, when instruction is presented in ASL this is voice-off instruction.
