ASL studens discuss the Milan Conference of 1880

In Mrs. Redelings' ASL 1 class, students continued signing their presentation School Days. Students gave each other both positive and constructive feedback to help improve each others' signing. Concerning history and culture, students learned about about the infamous Milan Conference of 1880 which influenced the ban of sign languages in schools for the deaf around the world in favor of lip reading and speech, an influence that still affects how the world sees d/Deafness today.
