Melissa Nazal to Everyone: If you can see it, you can support it!

Sarah Mossberger to Everyone: If You can See It, You Can Suppor it

Edgenie Bellah to Everyone: Here's the link for the book: https://nordicwelfare.org/en/publikationer/if-you-can-see-it-you-can-support-it-a-book-on-tactile-language/

Brittany Smith to Everyone: What if parents request ASL, but don’t use at home? Or they want spoken language used at school and ASL would be more appropriate?

Sarah Mossberger to Everyone: If we reach out - do you have any example data sheets you would recommend using to document data regarding a student's language use?

Suzette Moser to Everyone: Do you see more campuses use an all access communication mode approach or do you see an equal split with campuses implementing only ASL with students by using interpreting support?

Sarah Mossberger to Everyone: thank you!!

Suzette Moser to Everyone: Thank you for the great explanation Brenna!

Suzette Moser to Everyone: Yes!!!

Sarah Mossberger to Everyone: Such a great point! I think you could make the same argument for a student who doesn't have consistent access to a manual language, and the staff is baffled they aren't using it expressively either.

Suzette Moser to Everyone: Such great information!! Thanks

Brittany Sims to Everyone: could you put the code in the chat?
