| Title | Resources for Including Students with Disabilities in Foreign Language Classes |
| Body | * Two UK resources address foreign language teaching strategies for students with disabilities. Locate these web links "Bibliography on Modern Languages and Disability" and "International Book on Language Learners and Disability" listed under the Links and News section at the bottom of MIUSA’s Foreign Language and Disability Spotlight page at http://www.miusa.org/ncde/spotlight/foreignlanguage . * Read online an in-depth article by a speech-to-text provider on specific troubleshooting strategies for providing in-class captioning for Deaf students learning French, available at http://www.jsu.edu/depart/dss/cprint/french.html . MIUSA’s online tipsheet, available at http://www.miusa.org/ncde/tipsheets/foreignlang#deaf-and-hard-of , provides a general overview on the use of speech-to-text providers in the foreign language classroom. * For those interested in learning other countries' sign languages, there is an exchange program in Sienna, Italy for learning Italian Sign Language (information at http://www.sienaschool.com/programs/summer/lis,-italian--cultural-studies.aspx), and there is a new research database that documents 12,000 signs from American, Finnish, Japanese, Korean, and New Zealand sign languages. You can read about it at http://www.advance.uconn.edu/2008/081006/08100609.htm . * If you have a student with a disability planning to take foreign language courses overseas, and they are receiving vocational rehabilitation funding to pay for their schooling or supplemental security income for their disability, these funds can be continued and applied towards their study abroad if related to their career goals.
