The State of Kansas Language Assessment Program (LAP), and the state of California’s Parent Feedback forms (from LEAD-K) show that at least 70% of DHH children face language deprivation and delays between the ages of 0 and 8 years. With 16 years of experience utilizing ASL Immersion classes at KSD, we offer a radical, yet simple and cost effective approach to quickly lessen the effects of language delays in school-age DHH children. Identifying student areas of need in ASL development with various language assessments, teachers can quickly meet the student needs of ASL acquisition with daily lessons over specific communication skills. Hands-on and real-world activities allow students to seamlessly acquire ASL and learn content information about the world around them. Students exit this class once conversational proficiency is reached. Often new goals are established and serviced through ASL tutoring to tackle more of the academic communication skills required for higher-level communication. ASL Immersion classes can be implemented at the elementary and secondary levels to accommodate students of any age. The presenters will share sample lessons, pictures of group activities, and videos of students in action.
Learning Objectives- Discuss my school’s existing practices and devise a plan of action to address students’ language and cognition delays in my school.
- Identify resources, including personnel and services, available in my school to implement ASL immersion.
