IDRT’s suite of ASL publishing tools available at MyASLTech.com
Do you use ASL? Are you a teacher who works with Deaf students? Would you like to use ASL in your classroom materials? MyASLTech may be just the tool you’re looking for! The suite of tools includes ASL dictionaries, a sign generator, a concept generator, games and quizzes, and more! Stop by and talk to the folks from IDRT (based right here in Silver Spring) about MyASLTech and ask about their work in Morocco (trust us, it’s cool stuff).
How can you get the most out of a map if you can’t see? Take a look at these talking and tactile maps developed by Touch Graphics and the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center Develop and Evaluate Technology for Low Vision, Blindness, and Multi-Sensory Loss at the Smith Kettlewell Institute!
