Thread Name: American Sign Language and Music
Subject: American Sign Language and Music
I've recently visited a local school which is for students with severe learning disabilities. Most of the children can't speak, and so ASL (American Sign Language) is used as a way to help them to both better understand what is being said, and sometimes as a way for them to communicate back to the teacher. A couple of the teachers at the school have been signing as they sing, or play recorded music, in their classes. It's quite wonderful to watch!

Wondering if anyone else here at the Mudcat has experiences to share where they've seen or used a combination of ASL and music?
