Washington School for the Deaf: A Bilingual Approach
After watching this video about the Washington School for the Deaf and learning more about the bilingual approach. It connected well with learning outcome 2, describe how deaf education settings have changed over the past 50 years. In the past there was never a school offered with these kinds of resources available and opportunities. Another outcome it connected with is learning outcome 1, explain the impact PL 94-142 had on Deaf Education. This law talks about how students should be in the least restrictive environment. Being at a school where communication is very easily accessible and learning is taught at a level where it challenges the children's minds. Something that I learned from this video is that as long as you are exposed to the right resources and have a good support system anything is possible.

Yes! An environment where students have access to communication and thus no barriers to learning certainly is the least restrictive environment. 50 years ago state schools such as this, the Washington School for the Deaf were the only schools available. The interesting thing is that they were teaching via ASL and students were learning how to read and write. They may not have labeled it as a bilingual approach/school. It was "The state Deaf school."
