Title: Foreign Language Survey Asks People with Disabilities to Respond
Body: Foreign Language Survey Asks People with Disabilities to Respond National surveys show high school students with disabilities, while increasing in numbers enrolled, still lag behind their non-disabled peers in the percentages who take foreign language courses. Students with and without disabilities are close to equal in the percentages completing foreign language courses at the higher education level. However, the data does not explain what languages are being studied, how successful the learning experience is, and what are the barriers and benefits for people with disabilities at all ages. Are you a person with a disability who is interested in taking a survey about foreign language learning and disability? The National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (http://www.miusa.org/ncde) seeks your and other individuals with disabilities input and experiences. Take a 10-minute Foreign Language survey online at: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/47971/foreignlanguages . Deadline to submit the survey: October 31, 2008
